Electricity is delivered and charged by Backyard Revolution Review something called the kilowatt-hour (kWh). You are charged for a kilowatt-hour when you use 1000 watts for one hour. Think of burning one 100-watt light bulb for 10 hours.Unfortunately, calculating electricity use is not always straightforward. For instance, an air conditioner in a shady spot will be more efficient and use fewer kWh than one in the heat of the sun.Older appliances tend to use more energy than newer appliances that are designed with electricity cost savings in mind. Therefore, remodeling your kitchen or buying a new washer-dryer unit can lower your electric bill.

However, if cost is a concern, you have to do the math. If you save $5 a month with a new refrigerator, that's $60 a year. Assuming energy costs stay the same, you would need to keep your refrigerator for more than 15 years to recoup the cost of a new refrigerator. By then, it's likely than even more energy-efficient models will appear on the market. Most likely, you will be living in a different home, too.According to the US Department of Energy, the average American household used 920 kWh in a single month. That's not an ideal number: it's an average.

Your electricity bill often shows different rates for kWh based on season, time or day and number of kWh over a specified amount. You can't control seasons but you may be able to cut back on times when you use electricity. For instance, you may be able to bake or wash clothes in the evening hours.Geography will be critical in the amount you pay for two reasons. First, electricity supply charges vary widely. The Department of Energy estimated costs ranging from seven cents per kWh (North Dakota) to twenty-six cents (Hawaii). Second, locations with extreme climates tend to use more electricity. Think of how you might need to use more heat when the temperature stays below freezing for weeks on end. If you live in a temperate climate, where freezing temperatures are rare or non-existent, you will spend less to heat your home.
