To get an approximation of your monthly electric
bill, add up the monthly kWh usage for each appliance you have
and multiply that sum by .110713 cents. The resulting number plus
our $9.50 facilities charge is a good estimate of your monthly bill.
Remember, everyone uses appliances differently. These numbers
are only averages.
