Appliance Electricity Consumption Guides

Learn how many units common Indian home appliances consume, what they cost per month, and which usage habits make the biggest difference.

Power map showing always-on high-watt and seasonal home appliances — Appliance cost depends on both wattage and runtime. A fridge runs all day; a geyser draws high power for a short time; an AC can decide the whole summer bill.

How to read appliance cost correctly

Do not judge an appliance by wattage alone. A 2000W geyser may run for 20 minutes, while a 200W refrigerator cycles throughout the day. The monthly bill impact comes from watts multiplied by actual running time.

When possible, use the appliance label, a smart plug meter, or the monthly bill before and after seasonal usage changes. That gives a much better answer than using generic wattage numbers.
