Steve Sullivan Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 I just got the utility bill the other day. Although I haven't had the equipment installed for the full billing cycle (shy about a week) I did see a 200+ kwph savings from last year for the same period. Around 1780 to 1549 or something. We did also get a new refrigerator since last year so that I'm sure has some impact, although I don't think that much, as other months pre ISY-Insteon were similar. I think the savings will increase significantly over the next few months once we settle into the system and I see full cycles. Upon installing and setting up the programs I've turned the lights on and off a ridiculous amount of times. Since I'm not playing around with it as much now I can let the system do it's job. I'm really looking forward to getting future data usage. Not the bill...Just the data
Steve Sullivan Posted October 15, 2009 Author Posted October 15, 2009 Figured I'd post some actual data on energy savings now that some time has gone by. I started installing the ISY and Insteon stuff in Nov of last year. Pretty much all lighting then I added thermostat control based on occupancy/bedtime a bit later. I have electric hot water which I am currently not controlling but plan to in the future. Want to add the energy meter soon as well. This year we added a wood stove, which hopefully will prevent my oil furnace from kicking in too much. This is the info from our provider. As you can tell there is a consistent difference in usage since installed. Not all months have shown a savings, not sure why. Maybe my electric food smoker rigged with the Stoker (awesome device by the way http://rocksbarbque.com played a part in that:) Read Date & Days Read Type Total kWh 09/16/09 Actual 1450 27 days 08/20/09 Actual 1656 31 days 07/20/09 Actual 1950 32 days 06/18/09 Actual 1315 30 days 05/19/09 Actual 1200 28 days 04/21/09 Actual 1436 33 days 03/19/09 Actual 1275 29 days 02/18/09 Actual 1210 29 days 01/20/09 Actual 1594 35 days 12/16/08 Estimated 1579 29 days 11/17/08 Actual 1636 31 days 10/17/08 Actual 1473 30 days 09/17/08 Actual 1670 29 days 08/19/08 Actual 2279 33 days 07/17/08 Actual 1961 30 days 06/17/08 Actual 1700 32 days 05/16/08 Actual 1224 28 days 04/18/08 Actual 1357 30 days 03/19/08 Actual 1527 28 days 02/20/08 Actual 1887 33 days 01/18/08 Actual 1759 31 days 12/18/07 Actual 1797 33 days 11/15/07 Actual 1284 30 days 10/16/07 Actual 1687 29 days
