"Home electricity" sure a service. Little vague but could be a service.

If I have solar panels on my house and store electricity in a battery. I am producing and storing a good. It would be home electricity.

    No argument there. If you're off the grid you're not getting electricity service to your house by a utility. Same if you buy your own milk at the store.

    You can still be on the grid and produce your own electricity. The electric company will even buy extra electricity from the consumer.

    Electricity or milk is a good. Milk delivery or electricity delivery is a service that delivers a good.

    No way you'd say "Milk" was a service, just like you shouldn't say "Electricity" is a service. If you give more detail that makes it a service, then it would be a service.

    It was a bullshit question and the teacher didn't want to admit that.

    Definitely a bullshit question. Yes, "Electricity" is not a service without context like you said. But if I said what services does your house have? You could say "electricity" if you're connected to an electricity service
