So in June I received - what I feel - a huge electricity bill at 750kWh

I have a small 2 bedroom cluster with no pool / pond and I eat Fitchef meals - so no oven included at all. Most my globes are LED too. Granted, it was winter and the heater was on many evenings, but still pretty high.
I actively decided to turn off lights and click electronics into standby rather than leaving them on. Also wanted to check what used power and see how to reduce.

The result is from June I've reduced my units used by 40%+ and it's the lowest in the 12 months at 433kWh



I also used a device connected between plug / appliance on a deep freeze I bought many years back and was amazed to see it's 57kWh alone - 13% of my entire bill. I've connected one to my system to see what sort of figures I get with a Emotiva processor / power amplifier / 60" LED and PS4. So far running standby they're at 13w use.
