2 x laptop chargers 140w
Continuous or just when charging? Room for improvement here.
I had the power off, then watched the change when turning the power on,
so they must have been charging, if only a slight top up.
5 x fluorescent tubes 215w (2', 40w each)
Are these on a lot? Look to making changes here.
Yes, they were all switched off last night. The dog survived :-)
fridge and fridge freezer 275w (but I think only one was running)
Is one of them old? Or both, possibly? May be worth re-investing.
Both are more than 12 years old. Probably about 15 years.
Son's PC 40w
This is OK.
My PC 240w (scary)
Agreed :-)
Unbelievable, but I had never set power saving options. Now set to
sleep 20 minutes after non use.
