Yes, average KW used per hour.

I would like to get that "nobody at home" figure down a bit lower.
Things that come to mind right away that I know use energy include my aquariums (two of them, 40 gal, and 210 gal, both cold-water) my computer wireless router, and my wife's kitchen laptop computer.

Besides that, I am sure there are a few other phantom loads to track down.
