Energy Saving

Here's a list of common appliances and how much energy they use.

Looking at that list, I would only use it as a rough guide.
We have a fridge/freezer that uses about 210kwh per year not the 1750kwh minimum suggested.
And  a very old chest freezer that uses about 783 units still a lot less than the 1400 units suggest. But I suppose that is for an upright freezer. I have been thinking that we should replace this with a more efficient one but it keeps working and has a very large capacity. One the same size would hold a lot less produce and likely not be as well made mechanically.

A hifi unit and a computer that was on standby were both using 100units a year - so they've been turned off.

A socked that has the cordless phone, internet and is also used with a laptop used about 175 units a year. I didn't check each individually as we would still use them all. If the electric goes up more though, I might check whether it is worth switching the internet off when not in use - except BT have just moved the phone line on to the internet so that's not an option.

The temperature in our living room is set at what we find comfortable while wearing good quality woolen  jumpers. it tends to be 18C unless it is very sunny as it is south facing, like now it has jumped up to 20C

I checked our microwave in standby mode and it used 7 units per year.
