Took the time to write a script to tally up usage for a whole month, corresponding to the meter read dates. Without real calibration, I was under by about 12% but it's close enough to get interesting data. I've got a kill-a-watt meter showing up on Tuesday so maybe I'll calibrate it more accurately.
No surprise, computers and related electronics accounted for a third of my electric bill. I'm working on that, but that's the "cost of doing business". A quarter of the bill went to "appliances" - fridge, freezer, washer/dryer, microwave, oven, TV. The fridge is getting replaced next time it breaks - no sense replacing a working fridge, but not worth repairing at $21/month! Laundry only costs $13/month for a family of four. Lights and random outlets each were each another eighth, followed by heating/cooling, utilities (water/septic), and power tools for the remaining sixth. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
