Frequently Asked Questions

What is a kilowatt-hour (kWh)?

A kilowatt-hour is a standard unit of energy measurement equal to using 1,000 watts of power for one full hour. Your utility company charges you based on how many kWh you consume during the billing cycle.

How can I find my appliance wattage?

Most electronics feature a rating label on the back or bottom showing the wattage (W) or amperage and voltage. If you only have amps and volts, simply multiply them together to get the total wattage.
