on average how many kilowatts does a house use per day in electricity / gas

Answer

A kilowatt is a unit of power, which is the rate at which you consume energy. The amount of energy consumed is expressed in kilowatt hours. So your question should read: "How many kilowatt hours of energy does the average home consume over the period of an hour?" As expressed, your question is meaningless, because you do not 'use' kilowatts.

The answer is difficult, because it depends on the size of your house, the number of occupants, where you live (cold vs hot climate), the type of appliances you use -e.g. air conditioning, central heating, etc. If you think that your home is typical, check out your electricity bill -it will tell you have many kilowatt hours you've consumed over the billing period. It's then a case of simple mathematics to determine how many kilowatt hours you consumed over one hour.

How do you calculate the Monthly cost of using a 700 watt refrigerator that runs for 10 hours a day at a cost of 0.09 Killowatts per hour?

(700 watts) x (10 hours/day) x (30 days/month) x (1 kilowatt / 1,000 watts) =(700 x 10 x 30 / 1,000) (watt - hour - day - kilowatt / day - month - watt) =210 kilowatt-hour / monthWe're guessing that the actual cost of your electric energy is $0.09 per kilowatt-hour.(210 kilowatt-hour / month) x ($0.09 / kilowatt-hour) = $18.90 per month .
