I did the Kill-a-Watt thing a ways back, I never found anything extraordinary in terms of draw, except..... the effing UPS ! you know, the battery backups for PCs and Tvs ? Those are humongous draws. I replaced 2 of them with regular surge protectors... After that, it was mostly Clothes Dryer and old fridge, and invariably the old A/C units..
I got a brand new A/C, gas water heater and new fridge within 2 months (coincidentally) and my bill dropped about $100 a month, year over year, about 40/20/40 % A/C heater and fridge respectively. The phantom draws were NOT significant for me. HTH.
