2. So how many of these to run
your water heater or say 50% of your heating/cooling?

I will use anywhere from 800-1600 Kwh in a month. The upper end is height of summer dog days/dead of winter chill. Most times its in the 1000 range.

3. Forgot to add
This is a small house, about 1250 sq ft. I rarely am using more than one major appliance at a time. For example, I'm rarely either washing dishes OR laundry, but not both.
