I used to use right around 1900kwh/month, I bought one of these, and I methodically tested every 110 volt appliance in my house to find the power hogs. It took a few months to test everything, but I found some real surprises and was able to adjust our usage to lessen the impact. Now we are averaging 1500kwh/mon.
My biggest surprise was the coffee pot, you would think it only runs for the 15 minutes it takes to make the coffee, but that little warming plate uses almost 400watts the entire 3 hours until the time runs out.
My other surprise was the Dish washer, I expected it to be higher than the coffee pot, especially with heated dry turned on. But a full cycle is only .89 kwh, less than the coffee pot's 1.3kwh
Entertainment center was roughly 2.4kwh/day
Its much easier to cut your costs when you know whats actually costing you. That said at the end of the day HVAC is gonna be your biggest consumer and its harder to measure because you cant just plug it in to a smart plug.

I use the above smart plug/wall monitor. I can cycle it on/off over the internet with an app on my phone. I've also changed the BIOS setting on my miner's motherboard to turn the computer on when it detects power has returned after an outage. There are a lot of products like it so take your pick. But be careful of how much power you put through them, most are only rated for 15amps @120v even though 20amp 120V circuits are common in houses.
