amps (A) x volts (V) = watts (W)
Energy Usage Calculator
Multi-Item Electric Usage Calculator
The multi-item calculator uses average wattage for all the items listed. Variables like brand, manufacture year, style, etc. can affect the actual amount of watts for your specific device. For more specific usage analysis, please use the one-time calculator above.
Wattage varies for HVAC items like furnaces and air-conditioners. We have chosen to use “running watts” for the calculation. This is the amount of watts a system uses when running. Not when it initially turns on (which tends to be more for a brief period).
