Hmmmm, we’ve been pondering our electricity usage since we appear to have used a vast proportion more units per day average over the past quarter than in any previous quarter. Is our meter on the blink or have we genuinely been overdoing it?
We are talking of a 4 fold increase in usage here! – ie worst case of 7 units per day previously has gone up to about 27 units per day for the last period.
So we’ve started keeping a daily reading and a few notes of usage to see if there is anything odd going on.
10 units per day over the past couple of days…
This has lead me to check out a few statistics and to try and gather info on what uses how much.
Games Consoles are relatively cheap if left plugged in but not on.
This great page at Energy Star is pretty neat to calculate PC Power usage.
The ozzies have got a great government page about white goods.
I’ll try to update here as I get more info
