This depends on a number of factors. Are you talking about a central furnace for the entire household or a space heater? How long is the heater being run each time it is turned on? How often does the heater need to turn on to maintain the temperature at 74 degrees? If it is a central furnace, is it fully electric or does it burn natural gas to heat the air that the electric blower cycles throughout the home? How big is the home (this helps in giving an idea of the size of central furnace and therefore the power requirements for the burner and the blower)? If the heater in question is a space heater, what wattage does it require at its chosen operating capacity? (For example, my space heater for my bedroom can use 1500 watts of power but if I set it to low heat, it burns only 600 watts instead.)

Without much more information, there is no way to give an appropriate answer to your question, unfortunately. What I can tell you is that in my home, since the weather has gotten cooler, I have seen my electric bill increase because of running the space heaters periodically. They seem to consume anywhere from 10 to 20 kilowatt-hours per day, depending on whether I am using one or two and how much they are used. Around this area, that equates to between $1.30 and $2.60 per day since power is about 13 cents per kilowatt-hour after all taxes and various fees are added into the bill.

How many kilowatts does a house in la cal use per day?

Kilowatts is how fast it uses energy, the amount of energy per day is measured in kilowatt-hours. If the house uses 2 kilowatts continously on average, it would use 48 kilowatt-hours per day.


A wind farm generates 330 kilowatts of electricity each day. How many kilowatts does the wind farm produce in a week?

The wind farm produces 2,310 kilowatts of electricity in a week. This is calculated by multiplying the daily production of 330 kilowatts by 7 (number of days in a week).

It depends on the size of the party. But a normal kitchen refrigerator takes about ¼ - ½ kWh per day.


How many kilowatts does it take to run 200 amp home?

The maximum would be 200 x 240 = 48 kilowatts assuming you had normal 3 wire service. However, your home would never use that much. Average would probably be about 3 or 4 kilowatts, depending on time of day and your heating and air-conditioning systems. Your electric utility bill probably tells you how many kilowatt-hours you used in a month. Just divide this by 730 which is the number of hours in the average month, and that will give your average load in kilowatts for that month.


How do you calculate the number of kilowatts your house has used in one day?

Take the reading in the Energy meter at a particular time and then the reading again after 24 hr. The difference will give you energy consumed in one day.

How many kilowatts does it take to run 100 amp home?

A three wire home distribution service rated at 100 amps has a wattage capacity of;From L1 to L2 at 240 volts x 100 amps = 24000 watts or 24 kilowatts. From L1 to neutral at 120 volts x 100 amps = 12000 watts or 12 kilowatts. From L2 to neutral at 120 volts x 100 amps = 12000 watts or 12 kilowatts.


How many watts does a house use in a day?

A middle classed home uses 9.6 mega watts a year (9.6 million watts) divide that by 365 and you'll get the answer.AnswerA watt is an instantaneous measurement of the rate at which you consume energy. Therefore, there is no such thing as 'watts per day'. You should be asking 'How many kilowatt hours does a house use in a day?', because a kilowatt hour is an unit of energy.
