The trick here is knowing how much is being used.  The way that electrical meters and billing are designed, placed, and processed, it would be a full-time job knowing how much you have used in the current billing cycle.  Gas and water are the same, for that matter.

If utilities are serious about reducing consumption (and they are not), they would make it possible to know your consumption at any given moment.

 
Our utility here (Snohomish PUD www.snopud.com) is actually very progressive and helpful with conservation projects. But they are the exception, not the rule. If you want to know you'll have to do it yourself. Fortunately, you can. It's not terribly expensive and it is interesting. I've been steadily trending down at my house. We now use almost 40% less electricity that when we moved in 8 years ago.

Thanks for the warning.  In the price range I wanted to stay in almost everything had sealed burners so I'll have to be careful.
 
The thing that sucked was just one getting shorted with a liquid kills all of them. Several times I had to pull the stove out to undo the screws in back that hold the top on to lift the top and get to the insulators better to clean and dry them. Was easier just to keep a propane BBQ grill lighter handy...

Cool, gas is the way to go. One thing to watch for. If its like the GE Gas stove that came with my last house it will have so called sealed burners. Only problem is spills can still get inside the insulators for the igniters and short them out. On the GE it was a royal pain getting them working again.

Well I went with gas and got this today:



Frigidaire 30" Freestanding Gas Range Model FGF368G

Nothing fancy but it seems like it will do the job.  I like the fact that it has a 14,000 BTU "Power Burner" so that maybe I can finally cook a decent meal in the wok.

Won't be delivered until next Tuesday.

Los costos de electricidad varían ampliamente en los EE.UU.. Donde yo vivo es altamente estacional y progresiva. Las tarifas de saltar rápidamente 4 veces por el KWH la que más uso. Y la "línea de base" cantidad es una broma, difícil imaginar que nadie pueda permanecer por debajo de él a menos que usted se quema la madera para el calor, comer alimentos crudos, y lave su ropa luchando contra las rocas en una corriente (¿dónde está el emoticono para eso? )

{#Yes}

We're under $0.07/ KWHr in this region. There are demand charges, but residential customers would really have to try to hit them.
