Has anyone tried to get their base usage down to as low as possible? I recently was away for 3 days and I took before and after readings and am using 1.76 kWh of electricity per day. That is just with the fridge, boiler electronics and burglar alarm panel switched on, everything else in the entire house off.
That is quite high.
In my new place I'll need a new fridge anyway so a new E rated fridge (D or E is about the best you can get for a reasonable outlay it seems), that will be about 0.6 kWh per day.
For stuff like TV standby, wifi etc, I am thinking of a solution whereby I can switch everything off at once on leaving the house, sort of like a smart plug or something.
Will still need to use gas for heating (will try cut the temperature though) and shower, cooking etc.
