   It is not a totally true result. I did some tweaking also...   
      
   I install an Insteon Home Automation Controller that shuts down many of   
   the appliances and plug in transformers that normally draw power 24/7.   
      
   Replaced the old 120v sprinkler pump to 220v one. Replaced the timer and   
   installed an Insteon sprinkler controller that works along with the home   
   automation unit.   
      
   The Front & Side Porches were usually set dust to dawn. Now they shut   
   down at 2am. I use an outdoor motion to active it after hours for 15   
   minutes at a time.   
      
   Replaced the 40 gallon 220v electric hot water heater with a 220v   
   electric on demand unit and set at 100 degrees. This unit works   
   flawlessly, and has a digital readout. $249 at ACE Hardware. You do have   
   to upgrade to 6 gauge wiring and a 60 amp breaker.
