(5)How to Calculate Appliance Energy Costs
To calculate your appliance energy cost, multiply the appliance wattage by hours used per day, divide by 1000 to get kWh, then multiply by your electricity rate. At the current EIA 2026-03 national average of 18.56¢/kWh, a 1,500W space heater used 4 hours/day costs about $1.11/day.
HVAC systems — central air conditioners, heat pumps, and electric furnaces — typically account for 40-50% of home electricity costs. Kitchen appliances like electric ranges and refrigerators are next, followed by water heaters and laundry equipment. Switching to ENERGY STAR certified models can reduce appliance energy consumption by 10-50%.
