Here are some rough figures that I’ve come up with for ‘annual’ usage.
- PC/UPS/Dsl Router, 990kWh
- Fridge/Freezer, 525kWh
- Work Laptop(at home)/Screen/Wireless Router , 235kWh
- Chest Freezer, 182kWh
- Kettle, 182kWh
- Sky Box, 142kWh
- TV/DVD/Speakers, 118kWh
- Washing Machine, 93kWh
- Printer/ancillaries, 89kWh
- Projection Alarm clock, 34kWh
- Toaster, 6Kwh
Biggest surprise for me was the small chest freezer, it seems to be very efficient. I’ll have to think a bit more about the rest.
What are you using to record usage? I’ve looked at a few general meters but they aren’t per-appliance.
