The usage was up to winter levels when I use electric space heaters. The culprit was an 'energy saving' LED bulb that was trying to act as a space heater. It finally destroyed the switch in the fixture. I thought the bulb had failed but when I went to remove it it was red hot. I replaced the entire fixture. That energy saving feature cost me a lot more than any energy it ever saved. I'm amazed it didn't blow the 15 A fuse.
