1450 sq ft, $250-280 power bills. One "Mr Cool" 23k BTU heat pump on its first winter. Oil heat runs a minute every hour below freezing to keep the pipes from freezing. Also run a wood stove when it's below 15'F out, which is hardly ever this winter.

I've used about 50 gallons of #2 oil since Dec 19, my last fill up. It heats my hot water, too.

LED lights, one fridge, one full size freezer we found on the side of the road.

I think your dehumidifer is the culprit. Get a Kill-A-Watt meter, either $20 new or from your local library to see what it draws.
