What is your cost of power?
I pay about 10 cents per kwh here.....this past month I managed to only use
212kwh....my bill was under $31.
How is that for efficient?
Through analysis with my Kill-a-watt I have figured out that my computer equipment and fridge (which is new and quite efficient) make up about 70% of my electric bill.....with TV/Cooking/vacuum...etc...the remainder.
I use LED lighting and some CFL's....so I probably use less than 5kwh a month to light my home.
