Just like food, we wouldn’t want to waste<\/h1>\n

C<\/strong>ost of food is on the rise so does the cost of electricity<\/h2>\n
So considering the food cost, it should include everything that is necessary to maintain and keep the food fresh as you are consuming it.<\/div>\n

Calculating energy cost of fridge or appliances<\/h2>\n
A<\/strong>s a general rule of thumb (not include other variables: usage, equipment operating condition, environment and etc.), to calculate amount of power usage for an appliance as well as other electrical equipment do the following formula:<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Watt* x Operating Hours Per Day (based on 24\/day) = Watt-Hours per day<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Watt-Hours\/1000 = kWh per day<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

kWh per day x cost per watt = energy cost per day<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

energy cost per day x days of month (usually 30 or 31)  = total energy cost per month<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

*Note: if you do not have watt information, use Amps x Volts = Watts<\/span><\/div>\n

Compare to your monthly electric<\/h2>\n
T<\/strong>ake the above figure and it should give you a rough estimate about how much your fridge or appliance would be using, remember this does not include usage and other factors.<\/div>\n
