Understanding Electricity Costs
Kilowatt-hour (kWh): The standard unit of energy consumption. 1 kWh = 1000 watts used for 1 hour.
Electricity Rate: Cost per kWh varies by location, utility company, and time of use. Check your electricity bill for your exact rate.
Standby Power: Also called "phantom load" or "vampire power" - the electricity consumed by devices when they're off but still plugged in. Can account for 5-10% of residential energy use.
Savings Tip: The biggest energy consumers are usually heating/cooling, water heating, and large kitchen appliances. Focus efficiency efforts there first.
