Ever wonder how your electricity bill stacks up against your neighbors? In Delaware, the average household burns about 30 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity daily. But that number can fluctuate wildly depending on a few key factors. Let's break it down:
What Drives Your Electricity Usage?
- Home Size: It's simple math – bigger homes need more power. A 2,000 square foot home might average 30-33 kWh per day, while a sprawling 3,000+ square foot residence can easily exceed 42 kWh.
- Household Size: More people mean more laundry, more device charging, and more hot water used. Each additional resident adds to your energy consumption.
- Climate: Delaware's seasonal shifts impact energy use. Hot summers demand air conditioning, and cold winters mean heating systems working overtime.
