Default Lower ambient temperature = huge fridge power savings

I mentioned in a different thread that I heat my house to 50°F at night and 40°F while I'm at work. The lower average ambient temperature means my fridge has to work much less hard.

In the summer, I reported that my fridge uses 1kWh/day. Well, it's now at 0.53kWh/day, as an average of the past five days.

Btw, if you press the kWh button on the KaW twice, it displays a clock. Letting it run for at least 72 hours is probably the right way to measure a fridge, as mine seems to vary quite a bit from day to day.
