As you review your electricity use, you can consider how much electricity common household appliances use as a guide.
Keep in mind that appliances like refrigerators and freezers use electricity around the clock. And, other electronics continue to use small amounts of electricity when they're plugged in, but not in use—computers, printers, photocopiers, clock radios and microwaves are all examples.
