Water Heating Cost Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Water Heating Cost.
WHC = E * CE
- Where WHC is the Water Heating Cost ($)
- E is the total energy required to heat the water (kWh)
- CE is the cost of the energy ($/kWh)
How to Calculate Water Heating Cost?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Water Heating Cost.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the total energy required to heat the water (kWh). The total energy required to heat the water (kWh) is given as 500.
- Next, determine the cost of the energy ($/kWh). The cost of the energy ($/kWh) is provided as 2.5.
- Finally, calculate the Water Heating Cost using the equation above:
WHC = E * CE
The values given above are inserted into the equation below:
WHC = 500 * 2.5 = 1250 ($)
Example Problem #2:
The variables needed for this problem are provided below:
total energy required to heat the water (kWh) = 700
cost of the energy $/(kWh) = .3
Entering these values and solving gives:
WHC = E * CE = 210 ($)
