GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you use the estimate.

What goes into the estimate?

The wattage, the hours a day, the days a month and the electricity rate you enter. The example uses 1,000 W, 4 hours a day, 30 days and $0.30 per kWh.

Is this my real cost?

No. It is an estimate from the numbers you enter. It is not a meter reading or a guaranteed bill amount.

Where do I find the wattage?

Look for the label on the back, side or bottom of the appliance, or in its manual. Type the watts. If the label gives volts and amps instead, multiply volts by amps to get watts.

Does the camera measure electricity?

No. A photo cannot measure electricity, and there is no camera scan on the web. Type the model number or label details instead.

Do I need hardware?

No. You need no smart plugs, no panel work and no utility login.
