It's simple, just call or go to the offices of your local electric company and ask them for last year's usage chart. Most companies include them on the monthly bill and some of those are also online so you can view it there. And if you just show up and ask they'll have all of the info for you.

I keep an old electric kiln in my garage in case I have to explain what my 4 1kw lights down in the basement are eating up.

I am pretty frugal on my other electricity, BUT, I will just be moving in... So I dont know what the former tenant may have used regularly...

Also, should I put my cabinets in places where a large TV would be? To make it look like a TV for those heat seekers?
