I'm trying to tidy up the house getting it ready to sell. So, it's probably time to remove the killawatt loggers I've had appliances plugged into.
Here are the results for 2420 hours (over 3 months):
Refrigerator 107 kWh, Dishwasher 16.8 kWh, Microwave 13.04 kWh, Washer 9.37 kWh
To see what the annual energy use of these is, multiply the values by 8760 (hours in a year) divided by 2420 hours:
ESTIMATED ANNUAL ENERGY USE
Refrigerator 387 kWh
Dishwasher 60 kWh
Microwave 47 kWh
Washer 30 kWh
Looking back at the posting from Jan 10 2007, from a short term measurement, it looked like the refrig might use about 431 kWh. This longer term measurement shows a bit less at 387 kWh. I'd expect it to pull more during the summer. Still either of these measurements are below the Kouba-Caballo Associates website that predicted 561 kWh per year. Still, surprisingly efficient.
I wish the kill-a-watt would measure 220 so I could have logged the electric dryer. But no.
The dishwasher is the new Bosch unit that is supposed to be water efficient. Energy efficient too. I don't have a sense for what to expect for this.
The usage from microwave and clothes washer are one-tenth that of the refrig.
