LD lots of good information there.
One of the best things you could do is work on air sealing and insulation. Maybe someone else can chime in but I would think blown in would be better than bats for the attic. A blower door test will help you find the leaks and will be especially easy to find when its cold out. Given the size of your house I would think that you could get your usage down significantly with some work on the building envelope. If the landscape and security lighting is LED then the amount of usage that contributes is minimal. You could easily figure your KWH usage if you know the wattage and run time of the lights. My guess regardless of type is that its probably not a significant factor.
Our house is total electric however its new construction probably on the opposite end of efficiency from an older home, closed cell spray foam, geothermal, and fireplace for supplement heat. House is 3500 square feet, two water heaters, 2 adults and 3 kids so lots of showers, laundry, etc. Our latest bill showed 2640 KWH for the billing cycle, or about 88 KWH per day.
I started this thread partly due to the fact that my power company routinely sends letters saying that I am using a gazillion% more electricity than other houses in my area. My house is roughly 1600 sq ft and last month I used 3900kwh. I don't know if that is excessive for an all electric house??? The house ,built in 1953, could probably use some additional insulation and we have landscape/security lighting that is on a lot.
