Delaware Homeowners: How Much Electricity Are You Really Using? (And How to Save Big!)

Ever wonder how your electricity bill stacks up against your neighbors? In Delaware, the average household burns about 30 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity daily. But that number can fluctuate wildly depending on a few key factors. Let's break it down:

What Drives Your Electricity Usage?

• Home Size: It's simple math – bigger homes need more power. A 2,000 square foot home might average 30-33 kWh per day, while a sprawling 3,000+ square foot residence can easily exceed 42 kWh.

• Household Size: More people mean more laundry, more device charging, and more hot water used. Each additional resident adds to your energy consumption.

• Climate: Delaware's seasonal shifts impact energy use. Hot summers demand air conditioning, and cold winters mean heating systems working overtime.

Real-World Numbers: Insight Homes' Energy Efficiency in Action

At Insight Homes, we're passionate about building Delaware's most energy-efficient homes. We put our money where our mouth is, and we've got the bills to prove it!
Take our largest model home, "The Kramer," in our Anchors Run community in Lewes. This impressive 4,034 square foot, two-story home, uses between 38-42 kWh per day. Now, you might think, "That's a lot!" But here's the kicker:

• We leave all the lights on 24/7, even when the model home is closed.

• Despite this, our recent electricity bills were remarkably low:

• December 2024: $149.89

• January 2025: $170.11

• February 2025: $159.84

How do we achieve these incredible results?

• Superior Energy Efficiency: We build homes that exceed industry standards, focusing on airtight construction and advanced insulation.

• Free Solar Power: Every Insight Home includes a FREE 5kW solar system, dramatically reducing reliance on the grid.

We're so confident in our energy efficiency that we've created "The Proof is in the Bills" books, available in all our model homes. We want you to see the real numbers and understand the savings. Hot summers demand air conditioning – but an Insight Home handles the heat efficiently (one of the many perks of living in an Insight home in the summer).
