Math Question, HELP Please!

Hello all. Ok, all you Math whizzes(you know who you are), can some one tell me, based on the following from the GA Power Web site, approx. how much $$ it would cost to run 3-250 watt, 5 hrs per day and 2x96 11 hrs a day. I'm trying to get a reasonable estimate of what lights would cost to operate per day to give to my hubby and as you all well know, I suck at math. I really appreciate your help on this!!(not sure if this is even a correct lighting cycle, if not feel free to correct me!)

Energy Charges:
June through September:
On-Peak kWh@...............................................17.5518¢ per kWh
Off-Peak kWh@.................................................3.9684¢ per kWh
October through May:
All kWh@.................................................3.9684¢ per kWh


Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

A lot! j/k

If these lights are being run during just peak hours:

3 * 250w * 5 hours = 3750 watt hours or 3.75 kWh.

2 * 96w * 11 hours = 2112 watt hours or 2.112 kWh.

2.112 + 3.75 = 5.862 kWh.

5.862 kWh * 17.5518 = $1.03 per day.

 

Thanks Reeron, That was QUICK! Thank you!!!! naw, not as bad as he makes it out to be. figuring 30 days about 32 bucks a month not bad at all. I think all I'd need to do is, turn off the desktop and not use the oven as much, not use the self clean mode and use easy off instead hmmmm what else would I need to cut off....... Getting to be fall so a/c will get turned off once it gets under 80 during the day. I already turn off lights and fans in rooms that we are not in and I don't watch tv very often. I would even hang clothes on a clothes line(you kids out there, probably, have never even seen one lol) What else??? I don't use blow dryers or curling irons and I refuse to give up my electric toothbrush! LOL not a cavity in 6 years of using one.....thinking............

do y'all know what your electric company is charging for electric? is it comparable to what GA Power charges?

 

I was just looking around on the website for Wisconsin's energy provider and it looks like its a fixed charge of $8.40/mo then an additional 10.670¢ per kWh.

To run the setup you listed, I think that comes out to roughly 10¢ cheaper per day here in WI than for you in GA.

 

Dominion Virginia Power charges
Jun-Sep: 6.306/kWh for the first 800 kWh then 7.311/kWh over 800
Oct-May: 6.306/kWh for the first 800 kWh then 4.465/kWh over 800

Apparently electric bills are almost as complicated as cable bills.

 

I also did that "homework" before up grading yrs ago and my estimated cost was $15.00 per month. You can call the elec. company and they will answer your questiion as they did mine. Luna

 

wow it seems GA is the highest so far. wonder why? we get our electricity from the Savannah River Plant from what I've heard.....
