(The average American home uses a little less than one kilowatt per month, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration).


The average US home uses about 30 kilowatt hours per day. The power draw be can up to 30-50kw if you have a lot of things going at once.

Power is measured in kilowatts (kw)
Energy is measured in kilowatt hours (kWh)

Example: A single old school 100w light bulb uses 100 watts of power, amounting to 0.1 kWH of energy if turned on for a single hour. A kilowatt hour of electricity will light it up for ten hours.
