Are there any websites that I can use to determine the amount of electricity usage in my home?

To the best of my knowledge I believe you should be able to go to the City Public Service Website for information regarding this. You could go to websites that tell you how much the average appliance uses in electricity. From there you can add the amount on your own. City public Service offers information like this. Since city public service is the company that provides the electricity for our city then I just assume they could provide that information. They also offer free devices that help maintain the amount of electricity you use. CPS will also send someone to your house to help you work the devices and check your house for efficiency
