How much average energy usage do home appliances uses a day? Refrigerators, freezer, others?

Question

Usage in KILOWATTS please. :)

Answer 1

Depends on where you live and who gives you electric service.  Prices in the USA vary from down around two cents a kilowatt hour to up around 15-17 cents per kilowatt hour.  A kilowatt hour is 1000 watts used over a period of 1 hour so if you have a 1000 watt appliance and you use it for 1 hour and live in WA you could pay between 2.5 to 8 cents for the usage for that one hour times 24 hours would give you between 60 cents to 1.92 for a days use.  To figure out your usage look on your appliance for the wattage of the appliance and multiply that by the average number of hours it actually runs to give you a daily kilowatt hour usage.  Multiply that times your price per kilowatt hour, (on your energy bill), and that will give you a price per day.

For example,  a refrigerator that uses 250 watts and runs approx 6 hours a day would give you 1.5 kilowatt hrs of usage per day and at 4.5 cents per kilowatt hour (mine)  would be 27 cents per day.

Answer 2

If the coils are clean and there are no other problems with them ,I would say a few dollars a day.

However if for instance, the compressor was stuck,unable to start and continuously pulling locked rotor amps and cycling on the external overload,the power consumption could triple easily.
