In response, here's our electricity use for this winter with no other electricity used, save the
two ice circulators. The circulators are supplied and monitored by
Winnipesaukee Aquatherm.
FWIW, one of the circulators was controlled by a thermostat, the other was on a timer.
November 04....675kW.....$63.11
December.........------.....------
January............------.....------
February***.....1875kW...$175.31
March..............786kW.....$73.49
April 12............479kW.....$44.79
***Three months combined due problematical winter reading of the meter. (Ice/snow/steep slope).
The electric rate is $.0935/kW, and there's a $5 "Customer Charge" per month, which must be subtracted from the monthly figures.
Hope this proves helpful!
