After almost 7 months I can definitely say we are on the 200 kWh/month camp. We just came from Summer and our highest consumption during the summer while using AC (wife is a teacher and spends a lot of time at home during summer) was 400 kWh. Without AC our last bill was at 215 kWh and in June/July it even went into 189 kWh).
We always have the TV on, lights, we use the dishwasher, washer and dryer, and again cook from scratch everyday, the dehumidifier a lot of the time and also landscape lights.
This goes to show that our fridge was using probably close to 100 kwh per month or more!
