I've got an old freezer in the basement and it's about 52 down there these days.
So, any heat it pumps out of the steak-tips etc, is very welcome to stay in the laundry room.
Back on 10/02/08, I plugged it into my KillaWatt for 5.2 hours
and wrote the following in my notebook.
$0.41 day
$2.87 week
$12.31 month
$147 year
On 2-14-09, did a 6 hour run on the kitchen GE fridge and recorded:
$0.26 day
$1.83 week
$7.86 month
$95.64 year
We pay about $0.201 per kWh these days.
I think we might need to get rid of that old freezer..
