How much do I use?
If you know how much electricity your equipment and appliances might be using,
you can make informed choices about when you use them.
- Watts (W) = amps X volts
- 1 kilowatt (kW) = 1,000 watts
- 1 kilowatt-hour(kWh) = 1,000 watts x 1 hour
The formula:
|
Total Hours of Use X Appliance wattage
|
= Total kWh of electricity consumed
|
|
divided by
|
|
1,000 (to convert to kilowatts)
|
For example, if you want to know how many kWh of electricity it
might take to run a clothes dryer for 2 hours:
|
2 hours (total hours of use) X 5,000 watts (wattage of the clothes dryer)
|
= 10kWh
|
|
divided by
|
|
1,000 (to convert to kilowatts)

Watt Readers are a handy tool to help you figure out how
much electricity a device/appliance is using. Just plug
the watt reader into the electrical outlet, and then plug
the device into the watt reader.
The watt reader will measure the amount of elecricity used
over the period of time that the device is plugged in.
Watt Readers can be borrowed for up to a 3 week period by
Lakefront Customers. Call 905-372-2193 for more information.
