Understanding Electricity Costs
- Wattage (W) measures how much power an appliance uses at any moment.
- Kilowatt-hour (kWh) is what you pay for—1,000 watts used for 1 hour.
- Running costs add up—a 1500W space heater running 8 hours daily costs ~$58/month.
- Check your bill for your actual rate—it varies by region and provider.
