[RE-wrenches] Load sheet

Wrenches,

        I'm always trying to update my reference for KWhrs/day for various loads, especially as time marches on folks are of course wishing to power the latest gizmo with an off-grid system.  I can't seem to find very current info.  The days of going into search are certainly long gone with the advent of answering/cordless phones, satellite dishes, routers, security systems, etc...creating a heck-of-a  "phantom load" 24/7.

        Specifically, this time I'm hoping some of you have first-hand numbers on KWhrs/day for a propane fired hot tub (still has brains of some kind, ignition, pump(s), satellite dish for internet/TV and I'm not counting on-demand water heater as much of a load due to its intermittent use unless others have seen otherwise.  I've never taken the "kit" approach, hoping a cookie cutter sized system will fit a need, instead trying to really nail the consumption-production dance leaving room for expansion.

        If there is a favorite website anyone has for more current numbers (KWhrs/day or even just watts) on current household appliances, I would appreciate it.

Thx,

Bill Battagin
