How much do these run up my electric bill?...?

Question

video games

television

computer

Answer 1

Here are some ballpark estimates:

video game = 200 watts

television = 200 watts

computer (plus monitor) = 200 watts

600 watts x ___ hours / day x 30 days = ___ kWh / month

Multiply the answer by your cost of electricity to determine the impact on your monthly electric bill.

Answer 2

depends on the size of the PSU on the computer, the television (I've heard) can use upwards of 90W/hr and video games probably dependant on the type.

Leave them off for a month then turn them on for a month and compare the bills :)

Answer 3

I know if you leave on your computer on all night and day it's $8 more on your bill a month.
