[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I read that unplugging will save you at most $100-200 over a year.[/b] Which isn’t nothing, but I’m guessing OP’s husband wants to save $100 a month, not per year. You can ask your power company to come in and do a survey to see where you are wasting power. And you can also adjust your lifestyle to use power at off peak times. We have solar and 2 EV’s, so we try to charge the cars during the day, as well as the dishwasher and washer/dryer. In the winter, when daylight is more scarce, we try to run everything at night when price per kWh is lower. We average $40/month in the summer and $110/month in the winter for a large 6000 sqft house. We also live in a really cold climate, and radiant heating saves us a lot of money. [/quote]I don't know where you read such nonsense but the savings are pennys, not dollars. You are mostly unplugging things that don't draw any power and a few that use a few cents worth of power a month.  You won't see any difference in your electrical bill.  [/quote]
