Default Re: 240 vac power bills

Like above, just do the math....

You can find out what your pay for power by looking at a recent power bill. Keep in mind that utility companies generally charge a "devilery charge" for the power, so keep that in mind. Typical cost is somewhere around $0.10 per kilowatt hour.

My oven for example is 6000watts. To run it for 1hr means I use 6 killowatt hours, and costs me roughly $0.60

Of course... it's not on 100% of the time once warmed up, so the math get's tricky. But this will give you an idea of costs.
