RE: Household Power Audit with the KILL-A-WATT Power Meter
Great post,, and a nice tool you feature here! We can learn SO much from these..
People will be shocked if they use an electric water heater and learn that they use the same as around 100 or more laptops!
That's so true that electric heating uses a lot of electricity, I was sure to avoid it with the solar panel system. We are going to experiment with other forms of heating to cut back on our wood use. After we grow composting material this summer, we will try coiling a garden hose in the center of a hot compost pile for hot showers and pre-warming water, for example. I can see how a solar water heating setup could be useful as well. I'll be sure to add the #ecotrain tag first on my eco-minded posts. Thanks @eco-alex :)
