Virtual Test-drive: Saving in electric bills or keep the consumpsion down could save up to $80 per month

This might amaze you or give you more awareness.

This can be important also if you are trying to lower your energy consumptions.

This tip could help you size your solar project with solar panels in your house.

YouTuber Richard Wilson made a great video but you have to watch it till about 5 to 10 minutes in to see the wow moment.

To summarize the most interesting and unknown as well as unsuspecting consumption hog device you may not know.

He has the example of the Cable Box which as you know for TV consumptions, it is about 100 watt consumptions per hour and total consumption is watt hour. In other words just watt is just a rate of consumption over time and watt hour is the total consumption.

Back to cable box, the consumption sticker will say only 120 volt and 5 amps which equal to 600 watt. So for an hour, it is 600 watt hour and 2 hours about 1,200 watt hour and so on, to illustrate for only the box not TV.

So if you leave the Box powed on all day long and does not go to sleep or standby, you could be paying a lot of money on your electric bills. It could be costing you up to $86 per month based on 10 cent per kilowatt hour electricity rate.

This does hit home for me because it is the same theory with my computer three screens and 8 core proccessor, which the standby mode is 150 watts but when it is awake it is about 400 watts or more. The consumption is per hour.

Imagine you have two of the cable boxes according to the video below by Richard Wilson title name I cut my eclectic bill by 1/3 by doing nothing.

What devices in your house you have found that is a higher consumption?
( other than Furnace, Airconditioners and fridges)

There are some devices to help you understand your consumptions and they are seachable throught good. Basicly a watt meter or the product name sense.

If you install solar with Tesla which uses solarcity you able to monitor you daily consumption from your phone. I definitely would like to try sense.
