What are some recommendations for tracking down the power hogs?

 

 

Refrigerators running defrost cycles.

 

Generally these power consumption surges dont last long, 5-10 minutes.

It's just weird when you;re sitting in the lounge watching some telly at 11pm and then wham! the house starts drawing heaps of power.

Vampire mode tends to run around 1.5kW. Well it bobbles around between 1kW and 2kW.
