Just what are you running??? My file server, backend, and all the 
networking equipment in the basement consumes about $25/mo.  Four 
desktops around the house, plus a couple of laptops, some printers and 
other accessories add on another $30-$35/mo.  A projector (rear or 
front) will only suck 500-600W, and even with fairly heavy TV watching, 
thats only ~100kW/mo.  Electric dryers suck a LOT of power, but they're 
only going to be running for a couple of hours a week, and shouldn't use 
much more total power than the TV.
