my lowest idling (with 1 regular fridge and 1 chest freezer in garage, running Full-pwr) power consumption works out to about 8.3kW per day (24hr period)....my average during winter months is around 15~17kW per day (includes cooking meals using our electrical range).
Of all the things I have in the house, we have CRT tvs on standby (3x), 50" LCD, 1xPC running either on sleep mode (8W/hr avg) or sometimes my absent-minded wifey would let it run (screen went to sleep of course), etc. some other stuff @ idling also....
Not ideal I know...but I'm gradually working my way through to cut standby power consumption...(but not the 2 fridges).
Q.
