I bought one of those power monitors and tossed it on the circuit that goes
into my house. At *night* when everything is off, I might get down as far
as ~800 watts.
During the day it's more like 2,000-3,500. If I get the hat-trick (water
heater, central air, and well pump) running at the same time, I can get up
to ~24,000 watts.
The down-side...it's only monitoring the branch that leads to the house.
My office is on a separate branch.
My neighbor pays around $150 every two months on their power bill.
I pay just under ~$260 *every month*.
*sigh*
I definitely notice it when the power goes out. The sound of UPS relays
and alarms is enough to wake the dead.
