How many kilo watt hours does the average home use per month?

Answer 1

The power used in homes is highly variable but a typical usage per year for a small house in Europe would be 7000 units, about 20 units per day, an average of around 800 watts over the year.

In some locations in North America to obtain the best rate for electrical power homeowners try to keep it under 1600kWh per month. Over that figure the rate goes up by over half. For example I pay .0880 per kWh up to 1600 kWh and then .1295 for any reading over 1600 kWhs.

Answer 2

You don't 'use' watts and, therefore, you cannot accumulate 'watts' over time. A watt is used to measure power, and power is simply the rate at which you use energy. So your question is just like asking, 'How many miles per hour does an average car do over a month'!

What you should be asking is how many kilowatt hours of energy does an average house use over a month. And that depends entirely on the size of the house, how many people occupy it, what sort of applianced does it use, what time of year it is, which country it is in, and so on.

Answer 3

Watts are not 'used' and, therefore, you cannot accumulate 'watts' over time. A watt is used to measure power, and power is simply the rate at which you use energy. So your question is just like asking, 'How many miles per hour does an average car do over three months'!

What the question should state is how many kilowatt hoursof energy does an average house use over three months. And that depends entirely on the size of the house, how many people occupy it, what sort of applianced does it use, what time of year it is, which country it is in, and so on.

Answer 4

There are many values that have to be taken into consideration before this question can be answered. The homes square foot area, type of heating, whether the home has a natural gas supply, number and type of appliances are just a few. If you can answer them on the discussion page a rough estimate can be given.

Answer 5

About 800.
