Example
A quick way to sanity-check the result
With the example settings of 1,000 watts for 8 hours a day, the unit uses 8 kWh per day before accounting for any thermostat cycling. Enter the actual power draw of your equipment for a better estimate.
Actual electricity use can vary with power settings, thermostat cycling, efficiency, standby use, and how the appliance is operated.
