Try "power monitor" to Google. Then add "site:nz" for any local sources. But you may find that ignorance, even if it isn't bliss, is at least cheap.:D |

Check the reading of the power company's meter in the meter box outside the house. Go away for a day, or week, or however long it needs to record a meaningful figure for such a small usage of 50 watts or so.) Upon returning, recheck the meter reading and do the appropriate calculations. And finally: Clean and restock the freezer 'cos everything's probably thawed out during your absence. :D :D |
