How Much Electricity Does It Use?

One of the most popular questions we get asked is "How much does it cost to run a (insert appliance here)?"

PUD 3 has developed a handy chart to estimate the cost of a home’s appliances on a monthly basis.

A few things a customer needs to know when figuring the monthly cost of an appliance:

The basic measure of electricity is the kilowatt-hour (kWh). The electric bill indicates the number of kilowatt-hours used, plus a daily system charge and applicable taxes. The following formula gives a rough estimate of the cost of operating an appliance each month. Three things must be known to make this estimate: Wattage of the appliance (use the formula: Volts x Amps = Watts, or see the specific appliance guide), an estimate of the hours used each month, and the cost per kWh for electricity.

Launch our Energy Cost Calculator

(Watts X Hours of Use) / 1000 = kWh

kWh X (current residential energy rate) = Monthly Operating Cost

The estimated kilowatt-hour (kWh) consumption of the electrical appliances listed in the fact sheets above are an average, based on normal usage of a family of four. These figures will vary considerably with the size and model of the appliance, the special features, the condition of a home's wiring, the number of people in the household, the size of the home, the insulation levels in the home, and individual use habits.
