Look on the back of each major appliance where the power cord enters the unit. There should be a sticker or marker.





It will give either a number either in Watts or Amps. Amps x Voltage = Watts and Watts x Hours running = Watt-hours





If it shows watts on the sticker, then skip the step 1.





Step 1:


Multiply the amps by the voltage. If you live in the US, use 120 as your voltage.





Step 2:


Multiply watts times the average number of hours it is turned on or running.





That will give you Watt-hours which is what is on your electricity bill.How to calculate power consumption of each of the household consumables like fan,tv,fridge,ac,computer,ligh鈥??
Thanks for the answer I am satisfied. The answer was thorough and informative Report Abuse




I am agree with Mr. joe he forgot to tell one more step that is the electricity bills are measured with units(it is nothing but 1000 Whr or 1 kWhr)





ie 1 unit = 1kWhr (or) 1000 Whr.





Further you should aware of cost for 1unit then only you are able to pay in a right contribution.(the details you can get from local EB)
Another way to accurately gage your consumption is to purchase a device called ';kill-a-watt';. It measures watts and kilowatt hours as well. It has a 3prong input and 3prong output as well as a large lcd display.
