ParticipantThis is what it said:
Appliance Annual cost Percentage of total
annual energy bill
Laundry $17 0%
Kitchen Appliances $30 1%
Air Conditioning $123 3%
Home Office $130 3%
Small Appliances $183 5%
Refrigerator/Freezers $404 10%
Pool/Spa $446 11%
Lighting $1,240 31%
Space Heating $1,308 32%
Total $3,881Underestimates some expenses, but tells me that the POOL is much less an issue than I thought. I need to go home and enter it in FULL detail and then I’ll see where it really helps.

“Yes the total sf matters. Unless you have a large part of it closed off to HVAC you are paying to heat/cool 5500 sf.”
We have 3 levels, each has it’s own central air system, but NONE are used. In order to cut costs over long term we’ve added separate room air conditioners/heat pumps (the ones that go through the walls) in the kids and guest bedrooms), and for the master we have installed a split level air system just for the master (all doors closed). So we’re not heating/cooling entire floors, just rooms that have their system on.
How much would you all estimate are being drawn by systems in the “off” position (i.e. computers, big screen TVs, DVD players, DVRs, etc). Would it make “that big” a difference to unplug them instead?
