Your Home Appliances And KWH Usage
29 Dec
Posted by Suburban Grandma in Saving Money, Small Kitchen Appliances
The major energy users in your home are:
- The heating/cooling system
- Electric water heater
- Refrigerator
- Dryer
- Lighting
Based on the KWH usage you can calculate the $$ it will cost you to operate these:
This information is very helpful in planning your utility budget, since even though you do not have control over the rates being charged, you can control the total KWH usage in your home. Also, replacing old appliances with new energy efficient ones, rather than repairing these, is a wiser decision, and saves you money in a long run. Even on a tight budget, you can find very reasonably priced brand new appliances in outlet stores, and scratch-n-dent outlets.
