Calculation of KWh For Home Appliances

To determine your appliances' monthly energy usage, just follow these easy steps.

• List the important electrical devices in your home that you use regularly, such as a heater, a refrigerator, a tube light, a fan, etc.

• Look at the appliance's specs to see if the energy usage is listed. Write down how many watts the appliance uses and multiply that number by the number of hours you use it.

Consider, for instance, Each day, a refrigerator uses 200 watts.

24-hour utilisation of the refrigerator

200\times\24 = 4800\: watt\, hour

That means,

4800\div 1000 = 4.8 kWh

over 24 hours.

thirty days,

Each month,4.8\times 30 = 144\, kWh
