POWER Electric Power – The rate of energy used by an appliance Measured in units of Watts (W) or kiloWatts (kW). Kilo = kW = 1000W Equations:

POWER The more Watts a device uses, the more expensive it is to use. **Most expensive move heat in or out.**

EFFICIENCY

FROM THE POWER COMPANY When you get your electric bill, you get charged in units of kilowatt  hours. kWh = how many kW multiplied by hours ran Ex: A 100W lightbulb ran for 10 hours = 1 kWh $ = kW  hrs  rate (set by power company)

EXAMPLE Assume your rate = $0.10 / kWh
