To view current cost estimates:
Energy > More > Current Cost Per Hour
Want to know how much it costs to run your dryer? The CURRENT COST PER HOUR feature
will allow you to figure out how much it costs to operate any electrically powered appliance
or device in your home. This feature shows your whole home's energy use in real time. First,
take a look at the screen and note your energy use. Then, start the dryer and check back to
see the cost difference. Unless other appliances turned on while you were starting the dryer,
you can infer the difference between the original and new "cost per hour" values is what it
costs you per hour to run the dryer.
From the CURRENT COST PER HOUR
screen, you'll see the current cost per
hour kWh, the rate at which you're
currently using electricity and the
cost per kWh.
To view HVAC cost estimate:
Energy > More > HVAC Cost Estimate
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) account for almost half of all residential
energy consumption. The HVAC COST ESTIMATE screen lets you see how much you're
spending on electricity to run your HVAC equipment and how much it contributes to your
total electricity costs.
From the HVAC COST ESTIMATE SCREEN,
you'll see the percentage of your home's
total electricity usage devoted to cooling
and heating.
