1kW continuously is 8760kWh per year. To compare, my house used 6200kWh in total over 2024, including heating. Your toaster draws 1kW for maybe 5 minutes a day

1kW continuously is 8760kWh per year. To compare, my house used 6200kWh in total over 2024, including heating.
Your toaster draws 1kW for maybe 5 minutes a day, which is maybe 30kWh per year.
The power in this comparison is not important, it's the total energy consumed (which is what you are billed for in the end).
- sneak 1y agoyes, computers use a lot of energy, and spinning disks in my 40 hard drives use even more.
