What is the average number of people per household in the US?
It usually averages out to two adults, two children, but with the Baby Boomers coming up some will look after their parents so it ranges from 4 - 5 per household. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The U.S. Census is the official source for this …type of info. 2.59 is the actual accepted value based on the 2000 census data (census.gov). That number may change when the 2010 data is counted. 4-5 persons per household is an inaccurately high value for this metric. I think its 3-4.... anyone can help with this??? The 2000 US Census has indicated an average of 2.59 persons per household in the US. America.gov indicates an average of 2.62 persons per household in 2006 (source unknown). I'm sure this will change when 2010 census numbers are published. ( Full Answer )

How much natural gas therms do we use?
It is easier for the standard of measurement of Natural gas to be measured in cubic feet. That is how the Gas companies measure the amount of gas produced, used, moved...etc. Since a therm is a measurement of energy we can approximate the usage like this: The energy contained in a a cubic foot of… gas varies. Therefore an exact Therm usage value will be hard to come by. (It would be easier if there was a measurement of BTU or therm content posted. The Natural Gas companies know this value when gas is acquired from the well, but they are more interested in how much they are moving.) Anyway, on AVERAGE 1ft 3 of Natural Gas contains 1,000 Btu of energy. (A Btu is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.) So...In the USA, the federal energy information administration has measured that in 2006 we used 21,653.086 Billion ft 3 of Natural Gas. That is 21,653.086 *10 9 ft 3 . Since 1 cubic foot of gas contains on AVERAGE 1,000 Btu of energy, the USA used an average of 21,653.086 * 10 12 Btu. Convert that into Therms and we have: (1 therm = 100,000 Btu, 1 dt = 1,000,000 Btu ) 21,653,086,000 dt, or 216,530,860,000 Therms used in 2006. NOTE: Remember that this is a rough average since the energy contents of different samples of Natural Gas will vary by well or location. ( Full Answer )

How much electricity does the average American household use in watt-hours?
From government figures a person uses an "average of 920 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per month". (See link below for source) so 1.28 KwH X 30 days X 24 hours. or 1.28 Killowatts = 1280 watts continously. This is roughly 13 classic light bulbs always on or 1 blow drier always on or 1 wind…ow AC unit running all the time. ( Full Answer )
How many watt-hours does the average American household use?
The average American uses 11400 Watts(1.5kw) of power continuously. This is the equivalent of burning 114 x100 Watt light bulbs, all the time. Multiply this times people in an average household and you have your answer. The average person globally uses 2255 Watts of power, or a little less than 23 x…100 Watt light bulbs. source- {jagadees.wordpress.com/} The source of the above information is not correct. The average household uses approximately 1000 kilowatt hours or 1 million watt-hours per month. 1.5kw is 1500 watts. 15x 100-watt bulbs. Most electric stoves can draw 10kw(100x light bulbs) if the oven and all top units are on highest setting during the initial warm-up. Electric clothes dryers have 4kw(40x bulbs) heaters that cycle on and off during a drying period that can last 30minutes to an hour if you overload. Electric water heaters may have one or 2 elements at 4kw each, but only one element is on at a time. It is the most consistent power-user in most households throughout the year. 3-ton central air systems will draw 3- 4kw including compressor and air circulation unit. The good thing is that electrical power is still relatively cheap considering the amount of work done. Here in SC it is about 10 cents per kwh plus a base rate of 9-10 dollars per month. A kilowatt hour is equal to using 1kw(10x 100watt bulbs) continuously for 1 hour. I would hate to pedal a bicycle generator for 10cents per hour and try to generate a Kwh. In spite of what you may have heard, look for ways to improve the high-power consuming devices first, then working through to computers, televisions, and other lower consuming devices. 1. Every house will be different. If you have a 100 Watt light bulb lit all day you would use 2400 watt hours in a day. You can find out by looking at your electric meter at the start of a day and write down the values on the meter. Then read the meter again at the same time the next day and subtract. To get an average value, look at your electric bill for the month and divide by the number of days in the billing period. You will then know the average amount per day. 2. True The average house in the USA uses very close to 1000 Kilowatt hours per month ( Full Answer )

How much natural gas does the average household use for heat only?
There are too many variables to consider a particular household to be "average". Fuel consumption will vary by home size, insulation, location, and usage habits. However, typical homes require 50 million to 150 million BTU per year for heat, so assuming 100 million BTU to be about average:.
Assume …0.82 million btu (net heating value*) per 1000 cubic feet of natural gas..
1000 cubic feet of gas / .82 net heating value ~=1,219.51.
1,220 cubic feet of gas will be required to generate 1 million btu of heat, so you'll need about 1,220 ft^3 * 100 for the year, or 122,000 cubic feet of gas..
At $7 per 1000 cubic feet, that's 122 * $7 = $854 for the year.
At $9 per 1000 cubic feet, that's 122 * $9 = $1.098 for the year..
If you have a larger or smaller house, a warmer or colder climate, better or poorer insulation, etc, your results will of course vary. You'll require more heat in Minnesota than in Arizona, etc..
gross heating value is about 1.03 million btu per 1000 cubic feet, net assumes 80% efficiency..
