I bought a BELKIN Conserve Smart wireless power strip. For my bedroom TV and blu ray player. This helps save power. I also replaced my door bell with a battery operated one. No more transformer eating power 24 X 7. We are really making improvements.

Then we had my father in law moved in he is older and requires a device that helps him breath at night. It uses about 550-625 watts now my overnight power usage is back to 10-12 KW

So I am back to where I started from.

12 kwh standby
24 kwh to charge car twice week days.
36 kwh a day before we start using power.
