Most of the information came from Michael Bluejay’s excellent guide to saving electricity. I was curious how much electricity invidual appliances use, so I ordered a gadget that Bluejay recommends: the Kill-a-Watt electricity meter.

A large LCD display counts consumption by the Kilowatt-hour just like utility companies. You can figure out your electrical expenses by the hour, day, week, month, even an entire year. Monitor the quality of your power by displaying Voltage, Line Frequency, and Power Factor. [...] [...] In June I shared some tips for reducing home energy costs.

It illustrated what's known as phantom load (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_load ). PL from VCR clocks,stereos, etc. eat your money too.
