It was very interesting, when I did the Rent-a-Flir, to see how much heat energy is coming from a single GFI device. I didn't put a Kill-a-Watt on it to find out what the wattage draw was, though it would certainly be possible.

Modern building code requires GFIs and ArcFault devices on many if not all circuits, so that could be a source of power leakage.

I tell you, the Rent-a-Flir taught me a lot about wasted power.
