30 kWh per day sounds about right. I have resistive heating and holy heck is it expensive in the winter months, which are short and mild. I plan to replace it soon.

But yes, most of that would be heating and cooling single family homes. Many built during a time when insulation was an afterthought. Now homes are well insulated, but they are larger.

Do you intend to replace your resistive heat with a heat pump?

Yes. Its mild enough here that none of the typical concerns even matter. The house has natural gas connected, which is exceedingly cheap, but why would I.
