What is the monthly electric cost for:
Refrig

Interior lights
Exterior lights
Garage door openers
Wine cooler refrig
WiFi
Ceiling fans
Microwave

Yes, usage determines cost. Yes, specific models determine cost..............but just wondering if someone has gone thru and looked at EnergyGuide labels or other sources.

The new SECO page provides some very gross analysis of this.

I remember seeing another poster mention something like the Sense system in the past though I don't know if even that could provide the resolution you are asking for.

Some of these smart plugs might give you the level of detail but you might find the cost of purchasing the necessary number of plugs was higher than the cost of the electricity.
