ENERGY CONSUMPTION AT HOME

A larger home that is around 150 square metres will use around
23,500 kWh per year on average if it uses electrical energy for its
heating and hot water systems. If the home runs on other sources of
power supply, it will use around 2,800 kWh per year on average.

Per Day = 5490 Whr

Per Month = 5490 * 30

= 164,700 Whr

1 kwh = 1 Unit

Including all other Appliances

= 98 Unit

• Switch off electrical appliances after use and avoid unnecessary

use of electricity.

Meter reading and electric bills per month

The basic unit of measure of electric power is the watt. One thousand watts
are called a kilowatt. If you use one thousand watts of power in one hour
you have used a kilowatt-hour (kWh). Your electric utility bills you by the
kWh.

When reading an electric meter, read and write down the numbers as
shown on the dials from right to left. When the pointer is directly on a
number, look at the dial to the right. If it has passed zero, use the next
higher number. If it has not passed zero, use the lower number. Record the
numbers shown by writing down the value of the dial to your extreme right
first and the rest as you come to them. Should the hand of a dial fall
between two numbers, use the smaller of the two numbers.

Electric bills are generated based on the meter readings and the electricity
rate charged by the utility company. The rate is usually expressed as a cost
per kilowatt-hour (kWh). To calculate the monthly electric bill, you multiply
the total kilowatt-hours consumed during the billing period by the
electricity rate.
