OK, now it's math time, based on Wa2ise's input.
30 watts at 24 hrs equals 720 watts. Seven days a week = 5040 watts, carry on to a 52 week year, and we have 262 KWHr. Using approx. $ 0.15/KWHr. = $ 39.31 cost
Now....that's only one 'loose connection.
Further, using Mikesh's comment of approx. 90 years...$ 3538.00 wasted, excluding the replacement cost for the fire damage. I'll need one of those actuary type bean counters to factor in the cost of electrical energy for that 90 year span, thou.
