“I couldn't believe one old fridge was wasting that much power [$642/yr]. Now we keep a closer eye on everything.”
What we noticed
Seconds after connecting the Basis app, Tim noticed something strange. Over half of his home's power was coming from the garage.
What changed
Using live data, he tracked down the culprit: an old beer fridge that had been quietly running for months. Disconnecting it cut the family's electricity use by 15%, saving an estimated $642 a year.
Combined with a retail-plan switch, total annual savings landed at $812. The family now keeps a closer eye on what's actually drawing in the background.
Outcome
$642/yr recovered from a forgotten beer fridge.
