Many utilities have website apps where you can see your watt-hour consumption on a hourly/daily basis. This can help you troubleshoot by looking for the times where the peaks or anomalies occur. Hopefully it's something simple like a neighbor plugging his electric car into your outdoor socket, or a nearby homeless camp with a really long extension cord using your outdoor receptacle.
Electric bill any high
My electric bill has almost doubled since I added streamer and DAC. . How can I reduce consumption?
My Spectral amp and MIT Powerbar are plugged into the wall. My Spectral CD player, Spectral preamp, Aurender Streamer, and Berkeley DAC are plugged into s MIT Powerbar.
My preamp and DAC are always on. As is the Z powerbar. My CD player is on standby. I turn off the amp and streamer.
Is there snythungvi can do or do I just have to pay the Man for this expensive hobby.
