I'm not from US, so can anyone tell me why some months have low energy consumption compared to other months? (electricity - may vs july)
Also, do you guys use natural gas for heating too?

Although I was slightly surprised that "lighting and other appliances" is as much as 25% of the home energy use.
Usually a home will be built with all gas appliances or all electric, a mixture of the two is not as common.
There are cultural differences too. Americans love to air condition their entire homes with central systems and run them a lot in the summer months. They also dry their clothes with automatic dryers and rarely use clothes lines anymore.
