Multiply the price per kilowatt-hour by the number of kilowatt-hours per day your refrigerator consumes. Based on the average California price per kilowatt-hour of 16.4 cents, a unit consuming 2.4 kilowatt-hours per day would cost 39 cents each day to operate.ivide the wattage of your refrigerator by 3. Your refrigerator cycles on and off, and only consumes the maximum wattage about one-third of the time it's plugged in, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. For a typical 300-watt unit, divide by 3 to get 100 watts before attempting to calculate operating costs.
In 30 days, that's 90 kWh. My electric bill costs me an average of 11Â¢ per kWh. So, running 24 hours a day, my mini fridge would cost me about $10 a month.But it's not running continuously. If it were on half of the time, and off half of the time, it would cost me $5 per month. More likely, with my usage, it's on Â¼ of the time, and off Â¾ of the time, so it costs me more like $2.50 per month.n 30 days, that's 90 kWh. My electric bill costs me an average of 11Â¢ per kWh.
