Did you know you can get an energy auditor to look at your home with an infrared camera? Blue and aqua show where heat isn't moving, and red shows your trouble spots.

My own Seattle City Light has a page on finding out how much electricity appliances use.

Did you know?
If you leave a 100 Watt lightbulb on all year, it costs $98 on average?

The top three energy hogs for most people are:
4400 watts Clothes dryer (electric)
4400 watts Electric oven
3800 watts Water heater (electric)

You can find out how much energy most things use by looking at the label.
(If only amps are listed, multiply the amps by 120 to get the number of watts.)
Amps x 120 Volts = Watts, assuming U.S. 120 volt power.
