I carried out this experiment a few months ago, but the earth hour on saturday reminded me that I never followed it up.
I switched off every light, appliance and socket in the house - everything - in an attempt to see what the biggest draw on esb might be.
When everything was off, the meter was still revolving - slowly admittedly, but electricity was still being drawn from somewhere...
I'm stumped as to what it might be, any ideas?
One theory is water being pumped to the attic, I grew up in a house with a private water supply and we were always beign warned by our parents about using too much water and causing the pump to run - is there something similar in a townhouse with public supply?
