Default Re: 240 vac power bills

I got this off here some time ago. This should help in figuring the cost of running your oven per hour.

The total draw of the heating elements is about 12kw. My local power rate is 8.7cents/kwhr, so the oven would cost about $1.04 per hour to operate.

Also this one:
20,000 watts 5 hours a day x 22 working days a month
20 kw x 5 x 22 = 2200 kw x 0.08$ per kw = 176$ per month.
example based on oven running full power for 5 hours 5 days a week for a month,
