Edit: Added @9/kwh because it wasn't clear that's what I was using in my calculations
- cmurf 7y agoA 1500W microwave at 10 cents/kWh will cost 15 cents per hour. A 65" TV might use 100W, 2 hours a day would cost you $6 a year. A refrigerator will get you because it's running 10 hours a day. Much bigger, is the giant heat sink that is your water heater.
- mlyle 7y agoThe spike here was to $9/kWh. 100W * 2 hours * ($9 / (Kilowatt * Hour) = $1.80
