How many kWh per day does your home use when you are away traveling?

I don't know how big it is, but yes, that seems exceptionally low for a fridge.

Thanks to improving energy standards you can buy an "A+++" fridge/freezer 'off the (rather large) shelf' that is in that sort of territory: here is one I picked at random from a UK retailer:

Nominally ~470Wh/d.

13cu foot chest freezer with an outboard temperature controller. Super efficient because your cold stays put when the door is opened.

Hi jlsoaz,
Your question...... I don't think I can give an honest answer....
Mrs says that I should get out more....
::)
jlsoaz:
Yes, you're right. That particular example is physically not that big if I'm translating the net Liters correctly (206+98 L = 304 L = 10.73 cu ft), but still, there does seem to have been notable progress in fridge/freezer efficiencies. I paid a very high amount for my 12 cubic foot Sunfrost back about 12 years ago. I think it was advertised as using about 0.6 kWh per day and it seems to have held up (as far as I know) which is pretty darn good. So, I'm glad I bought it and saved so much energy the last 12 years, but if I were going to buy now, it would be interesting to be able to spend much less and get great efficiency.
