40 appliances

Heating & Cooling

The largest share of most US electricity bills. Cycling equipment rarely runs at full draw, so duty cycle matters more than nameplate wattage.

Kitchen

Cooking appliances draw heavily but run briefly; refrigeration draws less but never stops.

Laundry

Electric resistance drying is one of the costliest household loads. Washing cost is dominated by water heating, not the motor.

Electronics & Office

Individually small, collectively significant - especially devices that never fully power down.

Water Heating

Typically the second-largest household load after heating and cooling.

Outdoor & Garage

Seasonal and intermittent loads that surprise people on their first full-season bill.
