Having a home server and a few smart plugs leads to interesting data points like this one. Well, interesting to me, at least.

    1. I’d expect ice cream to get rock hard in a “deep freezer”

    2. Two compressors for a fridge? Wtf? I’ve never seen this.

    I’ve measured every device in my house, and the fridge isn’t terrible. My heat (gas) draws more electricity via the blower (yay forced air that I hate). The stove (electric) way more, and I cook a lot.

    #1 sounds like a controls problem, not an age problem. Any electric device is going to be wonky when a control isn’t working right
