Default home power bills

Just curious on what people are averaging on their power bills.

I seem to hover between $250 and $400

And dont know if thats high or average .

It is always higher when i run the Ducted Reverse cycle.
and I do have a lot of security gear running
but other than that
just the average lcd tvs, computers, etc etc

So just thought id see what everyone else is paying on average to compare give me some idea if i am using more than average lol.


and then maybe say what sorta stuff you have running. I mean the biggest power hungry device is generally reverse cycle aircons
