Do you think a DAW contributes significantly to your electric bill?

Just wondering. My electric utility sends me a usage comparison against a home similar to mine and a very efficient home. No matter what, I score really below average. I live in a 1 bedroom apt and have converted all my lights to LED, so the only big draws are my computer and my 42" tv. I also have a router and modem for my internet connection I use a small toaster oven for most cooking. 
 
I turn the pc on when I get up and off about 16 hrs later. It has a 700w power supply and runs 2 SSD's and 1 traditional HD. All my peripherals and the pc are on power bars that I shut off when the pc is down. I really don't want to be powering off every time I leave the pc because powering up is when things always break.

The big one is the the router esp the WiFi. Transmitters cost money. If you don't use it either set it to sleep certain times of get an electricity plug with a timer switch.

Myself I always would recommend fully shutting down a PC at the end of the night. Clears out any crap in memory for starters. Why waste energy.

That is truly weird. I expect the comparison "home" is just wrong. Nowadays, the average home is going to be running at least one computer and a flat screen TV, and is going to be using fluorescent lighting. If you live in an apartment, it is difficult to figure the total electricity usage. Some apartments put the resident's heat, water heater and air conditioning on the resident's meter, others figure it into the rent. An electric range/oven may be metered either way. If the company's comparison "home" is an apartment where the only separately metered circuits are the wall sockets and lights, and you are being billed for heat or electric cooking that could explain the difference. If there is access to natural gas in your community, it is likely that it is being used to heat water and cook in the average apartment, and to heat the living space via a central furnace. If your apartment is using electricity for these uses and it is being metered to your unit that would explain the difference. It would be a good idea to research that issue.
 
As noted previously, a 700 watt rated PSU is going to deliver that at full demand before it craps out, but unless it is very poorly designed indeed, it will only draw slightly more than the sum of the individual components connected to it. Most people can do very well with a 350-400 watt PSU. http://powersupplycalculator.net/ 
 

No, not at all. It idles at 100 watts, it maxes out at maybe 500 watts including monitor and sound system, which it only hits in games. My A/C is on a 240v, 50a line so it can draw around 10,000 watts or so when spun up. Doesn't take much time of A/C to beat out a computer running 24/7. A/C is by far the big one, followed by dryer, and stove, and then fridge. Take those out and the bill would be $20/month or less.
