Electricity Price Comparison

You open your energy bill month after month, each time another jaw-dropping experience. Rates keep rising and you feel like you’re going to go bankrupt just to keep the bills paid. It’s frustrating, but you grudgingly hand over the cash anyway to keep from being in the dark and without your much needed appliances.

Now, if you are out in the real world, paying your own bills, you have been around long enough to recognize the value of a dollar and the importance of savings. If that’s the case, well, you could not have possibly missed out on the push for green living and the importance of reducing energy consumption as well. Your monthly utility bill might be a cause for concern, but there is no reason why you can not combat your utility company’s prices by taking steps to reduce your own energy consumption and your energy bill.

There are lots of energy savings tips out there, which we will definitely be discussing. However, one very important step in determining and limiting your energy use is to have, at the very least, a rough idea of your appliance energy consumption.

The following information will give you a baseline of appliance energy consumption, but is not particular to any brand or model. For more specific brand/model information, consult your appliances. Keep in mind that the information listed here and on your appliances is going to be the minimum to maximum range, not the actual usage at any given time.

This table lists many common items in use in households across America, but is by no means a comprehensive list of every single energy using item one might own.

I hope this gives you a reasonable idea of appliance energy consumption and can help you to decide how to reduce your energy use as much as possibly for added savings and a healthier environment.
