Kilowatt-hour (kW-h)

One thousand watt-hours. Calculated by multiplying the number of watts being used times the length of time in hours that amount of electricity is used. A refrigerator that uses 250 watts will consume one kilowatt-hour of energy in four hours (250 watts x 4 hours = 1,000 watt-hours .. or one kilowatt-hour). Utility bills are based on the number of kilowatt-hours consumed each month.
