Scope
What this entry can support
This calculation guide does not report product tests, efficiency ratings, or universal monthly costs.
Inputs
- Rated watts for each controlled device
- Measured daily run time or thermostat duty cycle
- Your utility tariff and billing currency
- Seasonal room-temperature scenarios
Formula
Monthly energy (kWh) = watts ÷ 1,000 × hours used per day × days in the billing period. Estimated cost = monthly energy × the local tariff.
Compare scenarios only after using the same enclosure targets and measured conditions.
Boundaries
Limitations
An estimate is only as reliable as measured run time, thermostat behavior, room conditions, and the entered tariff.
