We recently ran a 50 amp service to our barn where or FW resides… I left the power connected over the past couple months to keep the battery topped off … I also left our fridge on (electric) for a couple guests who stayed a few nights (no a/c usage as it was cool outside)..: the fridge ran for the entire two month period…
I recently reviewed our electric bill… typically we’re in the 300-400 kWh range… last two months were 1186 & 1346 kWh…
Does the fridge use that much juice or should I be looking for a parasitic draw somewhere between the house and the barn?
Mine uses 5.7 KWH per 24 hour day or about 171 kwh per month.
