With the rise of utility costs post-COVID, I need to start monitoring power usage in our home.
I received the email from Jersey Central Power & Light, the company that bills us for our electricity, telling me that we are using 3 times more than the efficient cost. Charging us $93.50 for month of April 19-May 20, 2024. That's for 622KWH, at around $0.14 per KWH (basic generation $0.101897, Delivery $0.043199) as of 2024. So that's about 20.06KHW per day.
Here's what I can gather so far, in Watt/h, this is not a comprehensive list yet:
Aquarium RIO 2100 pump 29w
Samsung C27F390 monitors 20w x 3 = 60w (tested)
HP EliteDesk 800 G3 65w
AI prime 16HD 55w x 2 = 110w
1x Tower fan 21.6w (tested-office fan)
GE Fridge GSH25JSDBSS (578 kWh/yr): 1,584w ?? (not tested)
Basement Arctic Freezer: 38.9w/h (tested)
AC
Kitchen POE switch & Aruba wifi: 16w (tested)
Backyard power (shed powering squirrel repeller & 2 backyard cameras): 15w (tested)
Total: (311 x 24hr) = 7.46K vs. 20.06K (alleged total daily usage)
