Load Calculator

To use this form, list all your appliances that use electricity, along with a few pieces of information about them. Such items include refrigerators, ovens, computers, stereo systems, lights, DVD players, cell phone chargers, etc.

For each item, enter how many you have (Qty), the power it/they draw (Watts) and the number of hours in a day you use the item (Hrs/Day). If your use of an item differs from day to day, enter an estimated average daily usage.

Beneath the form, we've provided a list of common appliances and their power specifications. Do you see the words "Coffee Pot" in a white text box? That's one of the items in our list. Click the down-arrow at the right end of that text box to reveal a menu of appliances. Select any item you wish; when selected, that item's Wattage value will appear in the gray box to the right. Then simply click the word "Add" immediately to the right of the Wattage number to include that item in your Loads List.
