Where did OP say they had a sump pump? I've owned a few home in the DMV and have never had a sump pump. And yes, I know for sure.

The app says we consumed 215 mW in 2023. What gets me is that last week—-when we were out of town, we were using 16-20 kW per day. The lights were off. Out heat is gas, so nothing there. We have an energy star fridge of normal size plus one older smaller fridge in basement — but Google says a fridge should only use 1-4 kW per day. I unplugged all the appliances before we left except the TVs (which were off). What is using all this energy?????
Any ideas? This is driving me nuts. I noticed the same thing last time we went on vacation.
