Multiply the hours used on the average day by the wattage listed below.
Fridge power consumption per year.
Enter the average power consumption of the device in watts.
Over a full day a fridge is likely to use between 1 to 2 kilowatt hours kwh.
If you pay 10 for electricity per kwh that means the aging refrigerator is costing you about 55 per day 16 67 per month and 200 per year.
By simply eliminating the need for this fridge this could save you 25 82 per quarter on your energy bill.
This flip your fridge calculator is designed to provide an estimate of the savings associated with replacing or removing an old refrigerator or freezer with a new energy star certified model.
Domestic fridge power consumption is typically between 100 and 250 watts.
The power consumption of refrigerators is 400 1 000 kwh per year this applies to models in the 21 25 cubic foot range.
At the higher end let s use the smeg fab5rbka 42l bar fridge as an example pictured.
Actual savings may vary based on use upkeep and other factors.
That is why we have decided to create this list of rough estimates of wattage consumption of most common household appliances that people want to keep running at all costs.
This will give you the watt hours consumed per day.
If the company charges 20 cents per kwh then that 100w globe costs you 20 cents to run for 10 hours 10 cents for 5 hours etc.
This translates to 33 kwh 50 kwh per month or an average wattage of 46 to 69 watts this equates to an average hourly power consumption of 46 to 69 wh.
A 300 watt item used for 5 minutes per day will only consume 25 watt hours per day.
So the 100w rated globe above needs to run for 10 hours to use 1kw of power.
Hours used per day.
Remember that some items such as garage door openers are used only for a fraction of an hour or minute per day.
By way of example if you have a fridge with a top freezer from the 1980s with a capacity of 19 0 21 4 cubic feet it s likely to use around 2 000 kwh per year.
We hope these tables charts will help you to better estimate how big and powerful generator you will need as a backup source of power.
Next comes the bee logo.
Enter how many hours the device is being used on average per day if the power consumption is lower than 1 hour per day enter as a decimal.
Using the cost of 33c kwh and the fridge s annual energy consumption of 313kwh the total cost of running this fridge would be 103 29 per year.
The power company will charge you per kilowatt hour kwh.
Enter the cost you are paying on average per kilowatt hour our caculators use the default value of 0.
The average energy usage of modern refrigerators is 400 600 kwh per year.
This translates into a running cost of about 150 per year per fridge.
However bee star ratings are available for only frost free refrigerators.
The next aspect to be featured on the label is the annual power consumption value in units per year a 1000 watts per hour 1 unit.
