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.

How much power does a heater use?

Check the appliance's specifications on the strip, tag or plate that is usually fixed either on the back or somewhere on the frame. On there you will find its required operating voltage and wattage that it draws.If your home has 240 volt line voltage just divide the watts by the volts for the answer.Example: a 2400 watt water heater for a 240 volt line using the formula watts / volts = amps would give you 10 amps. For a 120 volt appliance it would be 20 amps.
