    It’s likely he has poor insulation, runs his AC very cold, has incandescent light bulbs he leaves on all day, and has older appliances that are energy hogs (HVAC, fridge, etc). He’s on the very high end of per capita usage in Austin, too

      I have decent insulation on a 25 year old house. Was just redone about 5 years ago. I do tend to run my a/c under 80, correct in that one. My usage is mostly computers I would bet. I ended up shutting down the homelab this month to see the impact, but my NAS is likely the real bad guy for power.

        Yeah, that computer equipment puts you well outside the average household’s electricity use
