I have physical switches on or near every outlet. Anything that's not actively being used gets turned off. With the exception of my oven and hob, because those are nearly impossible to reach. I use roughly 2kWh/day. This approach probably doesn't make much sense if you're using an order of magnitude more power. But it makes sense for me.
- a2tech 5y agoCrazy. My wife and I used 619 kWh last month
- nixgeek 5y agoWe were at 5MWh last month, so it’s all relative. Don’t feel bad.
- liketochill 5y agoThat is impressive! Did you do that on a 200A 120/240V service? What is your load? Ac?

- heartbreak 5y agoNot the person you were replying to, but my June statement lists 1,800 kWh. I'm in a two-bedroom apartment in Texas. The primary consumer of power by far is AC, which is kept at 68 degrees in the summer (partly for temperature, partly for humidity). My effective rate after all the fees was $0.11/kWh.
- nixgeek 5y agoIt’s 240V/400A split-phase service, PNW, around $0.11/kWh. Air conditioning is a big part of it when the temperatures are high. Also charging multiple bEV, a lot of 24x7 loads: half-dozen fridges, a couple large freezers, wine cellar, about 1kW of IT+AV equipment, etc.
