Your math is wrong, because you assume a household consumes 2500 watts 24/7. That's a pretty insane figure. The only things running constantly in our house are the fridge and the modem. Even if you add computer, laptop, lights it's still an order of magnitude less than 2500w.

In vast swaths of the US electricity is used for climate control on a 24/7 basis, and in these locations it is often the largest single energy usage point in the home or office building.
