How much electricity do my household items
use?
This is a very difficult question to answer,
because there are so many different variables
from one house to another.
Now for instance, do you have a gas, or all-electric
home?
Or does your home use both?
If your house is entirely electric, your electrical
bill will be higher than that of a home with
gas service.
The vast majority of your electrical bill
is coming from your larger appliances, not
from the blinking lights or the display screens
of your electronics plugged in around the
house.
About 95% of your yearly electricity bill
comes from things like your water heater,
your home's heating system, the AC unit, refrigerators
and deep freezers, your oven and stove, washer
and dryer, and potentially even the lighting.
Now, a refrigerator built in 1985 will use
four to five times more electricity than a
modern model.
And updating your appliances to energy-efficient
models could have a huge impact on your electricity
bill.
A spike in your electrical bill doesn't always
mean you have a problem with your electrical
systems, but it could mean you have a problem
with one or more of your appliances.
Appliances that use motors or compressors
will usually begin to consume noticeably more
energy before they fail.
