Appliance Power Consumption

 

Shortly before starting this website, I made myself a couple of basic power usage loggers (see DIY home power monitor) and have since been recording the power usage of various appliances to see exactly where our power goes.

All figures presented are based upon a minimum one-week of usage in a standard family household.

If you would like me to track down and monitor a certain appliance drop me a line.
