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.
To figure how many kilowatts an appliance uses, take the wattage of the appliance, multiply it by the number of hours used, and divide by 1,000. For example, if a new refrigerator has a wattage of 300, multiplied by 730 hours, and divided by 1,000, it averages 219 kilowatt hours.Ad.The price of a kilowatt hour varies in the US, depending on location and peak usage times, but on average, one kilowatt hour costs about $0.06 USD.Electric bills will usually state exactly how many cents are being charged per kilowatt hour, which can help determine the cost of running an appliance.he price of a kilowatt hour varies in the US, depending on location and peak usage times, but on average, one kilowatt hour costs about $0.06 USD.
