How much hydro does a 4800 watts heater use?

Answer 1

Your term "hydro" is another term for kilowatt hours. So to answer your question a 4800 watt heater on for an hour would consume 4.8 kilowatt/hours. To take it further if you knew what you pay for a kilowatt hour in your area, multiply it by 4.8 and you could see how much it costs you to operate the heater. An example if you pay .11 cents a kilowatt hour, the price would be .528 or 53 cents an hour.

Answer 2

To determine the hydro usage of a 4800-watt heater, you would need to know the length of time the heater is running. For example, if the heater runs for 1 hour, it would use 4.8 kWh (4800 watts x 1 hour = 4800 watt-hours = 4.8 kWh) of electricity. You can calculate the usage by multiplying the wattage of the heater by the number of hours it is in operation.
