How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use?


I’m proud to say my monthly kilowatt usage is approximately 400 kWh and rises to 450 or so in the summer with air conditioning. Each night use about 4 kwh for my audio gear which includes 30 tubes mostly in amplifiers. Yes this is the worst of my sins using a tube amplifier.

Curious if you know how much you use and if so how much is it?

I’m a big proponent of conserving electricity to help out the planet.

Approx. 250 kWh/month (2 bed/bath apartment billed on Southern California Edison).

A/C in the living room will bump it up in a few months (run it 4-5 hours on hot days).

I'm down to a few dozen incandescent bulbs and will try more efficient types soon (did not care for the light quality of the early versions so hopefully this has improved over the years).

Energy usage/conservation is an important issue in California just as it is world wide.
