metric is great until you need to do anything practical with it like converting cricket chirps to degrees /s
A typical main breaker in the US is rated for 150 amps, general rule of thumb is breakers are safe for 80% of their rated load continuously. At 110v, that 150 amp panel is good for 13.2kw. Over a 30 day month that’s 9,500 kwh.
Anyone using 7000kwh a month is likely on a 200 or 300 amp panel. By the same math above that’s 12,700kwh and 19,000kwh.
7,000kwh is well within safe usage of a normal home under a uniform load, definitely so with a 2 or 300amp main breaker.
Ffs an electric car with a home fast charger pulls nearly 12kw on a single outlet. That plus a fridge and AC running in the house would be too much for a standard 150amp service.
