Refrigerators are the single largest electrical consumer in the house. You might want to check the efficiency of your current model. It might have a leak or somehting. Your stereo should not be the culprit of your high bill. I had a Pass Aleph class A amp running at 200 watts when on and it did not have an impact on our bill. You might check to see what else is using juice from your panel, or perhaps a neighbor is sharing your line somehow, or the meter reader is making a mistake. We have an old Craftsman home, I work at home all day, I use the stereo constantly, and we live in California with high electricity prices and our bill is still only $60-70/month. Our gas bill is another issue, though (leaky old home)!
Power Consumption idle
Is this right? I have a Sim Audio Titan 7ch solid state amp and the specs say the amp uses 75 watts at idle. I am just trying to figure out why my electric bill is so high.
I know having the gear on always, but this aside, can 75 watts keep a 19x12x27 120lbs piece of metal good and warm to the touch? Or could the specs be very misleading.
Thanks
