There is the water heater too, and you could replace the heating element if you suspect that.    There are plug in amp meters like [this](https://www.amazon.com/TS-836A-Energy-Voltage-Electricity-Monitor/dp/B00E945SJG) (out of stock), but you may be able to find something similar in the market here or ali express if you have to go that route.

Most modern devices draw very little (\u0026lt; 1W) power when turned off.\r\n\r\nDO yourself a favor and buy a simple power meter, [this one is $15](http://www.amazon.com/TS-836A-Energy-Voltage-Electricity-Monitor/dp/B00E945SJG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1446415646\u0026amp;sr=8-2\u0026amp;keywords=power+meter) and is the one I own. It's super simple to use, just plug it into an outlet and plug something into it. It'll tell you how many watts it draws, and it will even keep track of how much energy (kWh) it's used, which is super useful for things like computers or refrigerators that have non-constant power draw.\r\n\r\nThen, after you've done this, worry about dealing with things that are drawing power. Some things might be, but I know when I went around my apartment, almost nothing was drawing power that surprised me. My TV, computer, monitors, speakers, lights, all at 0W when off. Even my printer, which I had previously tried to keep \"off\" when I wasn't using it, was drawing a negligible amount of power while idle (\u0026lt; 1W).\r\n\r\nIf you do have something that draws a lot of \"ghost power\", it's probably only one or two things. Then maybe get those wireless outlet switches for those devices.","subreddit_name":"personalfinance","author":"im-a-koala"},{"body":"In the sub 100w total usage range, I'm comfortable with just the exhaust fan blowing air at/over it in its current configuration.
