[Parent post: "Energy usage excessive"] I’ll keep it short and sweet. I need ideas. I cannot get my energy usage down. It’s always been high but now I’m tired of it and with how expensive electric has gotten it’s getting overwhelming. I have gas water heater, furnace, stove, and dryer. Two window units, like 1500 sq ft house. But there is no trend that I can find. I’m averaging 1300-1700 kWh a month. Any help is appreciated. --- Yep sadly, have a smart plug on them. Dryer vent is clear. The one window used 100 kWh this month. Even with my ac units off I still use 1.2 kWh minimum. In my area we are upto 12 cents a kWh.

Summary
The commenter is discussing energy usage and window unit consumption, not expressing interest in replacing windows.
Reasoning
The comment focuses on diagnosing high electric usage, mentioning smart plugs, a clear dryer vent, and the kWh used by a window AC unit. There is no mention of drafts, old windows, quotes, costs, or any desire to replace windows, so it does not show buying intent or active research. This is more of a troubleshooting/energy-consumption discussion than a window-shopping signal.
