how much does it cost on your elect. bill to run your home pc 12 hrs a day for i month?

You are usually billed by the electric company in terms of how much energy you use per month.  The unit for measuring this is given in kiloWatt-hours (kWh).\n1 kWh is defined as the amount of energy consumed by something drawing one kiloWatt of power consistantly for 1 hour, or something drawing 1 watt for 1000 hours (or any combination there of).\n\nSo, for example, say your computer opperated at a constant 200 watts for 12 hours a day for 30 days straight.\nDaily energy consumption = 200 watts * 12 hours = 2400 katt-hours.  For 30 days, that would equal 72000 Wh or 72 kWh.\nI dont know how much energy costs where you live, but for me it is roughtly 12 cents / kWh, so that would come to $8.64 per month.

Yes, my fee is $90/hr. Where are you?

Not knowing anything specific about Texas power and if power is more or less expensive than it is under Westar Energy (Kansas) -- I paid ~$30 a month for power in a 1 bedroom apartment a year ago, and I now pay $40-45 a month for power for a 1000 square-foot house now.  You can always reduce your power consumption by shifting over from incandescent bulbs to compact florescent bulbs.    Were I to shift over to these bulbs, I would probably expect to shave a couple of dollars off of my electricity every month, thus paying for the bulbs with their own savings.

What kind of computer you have? It all depends on the model of your computer. It can range from $40-$200.

A typical computer uses between 100-150 watts per hour.  But your computer usage will vary depending on how many peripherals and components are installed.  In the United States, rates vary wildly.  I'm in the more expensive area of the country where we pay about 20 cents per Kilowatt Hour.  This amounts to about $15-20 per month per computer.\n\nAnd to the guy who said the TV uses more... you're WRONG.  TVs use between 50 and 100 watts. (except for the larger TVs).\n\nI'm not sure if they make a UK equivalent, but you might want to invest in a device like the Kill-A-Watt meter (google it) - it will tell you how much electricity is being used. \n\nAlso, idle time vs. use time can see the wattage change significantly.  Using my the network can increase wattage use by about 15 watts...\n\nAsking the electric company sounds good but is silly - I've done that, they tend to tell you the computer uses 300 watts (because that's the average power supply in a computer).  Problem is, just because the power supply can provide 300 watts does NOT mean that that's what it uses.  It's kinda like saying your light socket uses 150 watts because it can use a 150 watt bulb... even when you only use a 60 watt bulb.

around $5000. per month depending on the location

Now See\nA typical monitor has  about 60 watts to consume to show the display.\nAnd a CPU Adapter takes 10-12 watts.\nThe normal speakers with woofer if you add take 5 watts.\nAdd these quantities Total Watts = 60+12+5=77\n\nConvert above value In KWh (Kilo Watt Hour) electrical units\nBecause we have to calculate the unit consumption hourly.\nKWh= 77/1000 = 0.077 unit\nThis figure is for the whole hours comsumption in kwh unit, because utility companies multiply the unit consumed into price/unit.\nsimply price = units * (price/unit)\n             = 0.077 * ? your price\ne.g.         = 0.077 * (20 cents/unit)\nprice for 1 hour = 0.0154 dollar\nprice for 24 hours = 0.0154 * 24\ntotal price a day  = 0.3696 cent\nHow much power you consumed in 24 hours\n= .077*24 = 1.848 Kilo Watts\nnearly 2 units per day 24hours.\n\n\nhttp://360.yahoo.com/jcbroogley

Oh, come on. Windows has a calculator built in. Anyway, it's $2,693,320. The guy above me used 2,500,000 instead of 250,000.

to run a house about $5,000.  to add everything else to because it produces DC power (like a battery) and a house used AC power: $50,000 and another $10,000 for engineering, and $5,000 for somebody to install it all for a total of about $70,000 given that the average house power bill is about $100-200 it would take about 30-60 years to break even (not including maintainence costs and its an unreliable power source).  Moral of the story...just buy power from the utility!

I have electic heat and it can be very costly.  But I also have a wood burning stove.  I average about $100.00 a month in electic including tv's, freezer, refrig, lights, and etc.

Depends on the area of the USA you are in.\nCan be any where from min. wage to I'd say no more than $10 to 12 an hour.

ask your electricity provider if they have a budget program. That is what I did with my gas bill.

There are 24 x 31 = 744 hours in a 31 day month.  Check your fan name tag for the rated watts (single speed?).  Multiply the watts times 744 and divide by 1,000 to get KW-Hr (kilowatt-hours) of power per month.  Check your power bill for the charge per KW-Hr.  It should be about 10 to 15 cents per KW-Hr (or KWH), depending upon where you live.  For example if a small fan draws say 20 watts, the calculation would be:\n\n(20 x 744)/1,000 = 14.88 KW-Hr @ $0.10 per KW-Hr = $1.49 per month or about $17.85 per year.\n\nGood luck.

He probably charges 60-100 bucks and hour, but that includes his overhead.  He probably takes home something close to 30-45 bucks an hour.

You should charge $5 per hour. So around $30 would be good
