This wasted electricity accounts for about 5% to 10% of home energy use, depending on factors like the age of the equipment, according to Alexis Abramson, dean of the Columbia Climate School.

What was the source of that energy loss? Just the wiring or something?
No idea tbh. I tried to figure it out myself first, then I had two electricians independently checking it.
And their conclusion was that they didn’t know, and that the 5% was sort of normal. I even had my electricity meter recalibrated by the grid company. I was afraid somone was taping, but no… It still could’ve been the electricity meter ( which was like only 10 yo, I looked up its specs and readings). Humidity, Magnetism and Radio signals might effect the readings, under circumstances. So to be" safe", I have now a newer smart electricicity meter.
Mynock. Chewin’ on the power cables.
