Power Consumption.

Posted on November 2, 2008 by j0n

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.

    I literally just plugged them in for a ‘week’ or however long I though was a ‘usage period’.
