Yogi,
Good stuff. I saw a show not long ago about the subject and I realized that my house is full of stuff plugged in and even turned on for no reason. The TV satellite box is sitting there making electricity into heat when I don't have the TV on. No sense in that other than lazyness. Cellphone chargers and camera chargers plugged in draw current as well. I went to a tankless water heater a few yrs ago since there's just two of us and we both are gone all day. No sense heating water all day and night.
