It's an interesting new way to look at everything that needlessly draws current wether your using it or not.
There is an interesting new mandate comming that will require power bricks to manage thier stand by power better.
I have a lot of power bricks in every room.
I remember this discusion has been brought up previously but I have a new twist on it.
We recently left the house for vacation.
I shut things off, first the water, then some breakers.
The house seemed oddly quiet, and dark.
My question here is:
What if I were to every night turn off, the fridge, the water heater, and all unused rooms.
Leaving on only the Air and a clock.
I retire at about one in the morning and the wife gets up at six, so it would only be for a short time.
To go further I suppose I could work out a full house power management system that would automate the devices and times.
But for now, what's the down side of switching my house off at night?
