How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use?


I’m proud to say my monthly kilowatt usage is approximately 400 kWh and rises to 450 or so in the summer with air conditioning. Each night use about 4 kwh for my audio gear which includes 30 tubes mostly in amplifiers. Yes this is the worst of my sins using a tube amplifier.

Curious if you know how much you use and if so how much is it?

I’m a big proponent of conserving electricity to help out the planet.

light bill is really expensive here in Texas

i pay 400-500 every month and most of the time my  system is off since I travel a lot for work 

I average 1100 kWh per month but my out-of-pocket cost is less than $100.  I have a large solar panel array and a large geothermal heat pump with coils submerged in a pond.  Grid electricity is provided by a nuclear power station.  Oh, and my Gan1 amp uses next to nothing.  I did all that because it made good economic and audio sense, not to save the planet or signal my virtue.  In fact, I'm conservative and don't believe there is a climate crisis. 

I’m a misor for power usage. This is good if electric blackouts become more frequent.

My Pass XA25 manual says 240W at idle. 30 days would be about $30 if my math is right, I am getting older, and humble, so correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh brother....never heard of any one keeping track of energy usage for a hifi. The whole green thing is bogus and a political power grab. Another way for big brother to control you. I pay my electric bill, that's all That matters. Oh and I turn off lights in rooms not being used. Hard, I have kids.
