In each hour two 60W blankets will use 120W.
120W for 9 hours = 1080 W or 1.08 Kilowatts.
The answer depends on the price of electricity which will be different at different times and from place to place.
Electricity in the US cost about ten cents per kilowatt-hour. The average family uses about 10,000 kilowatt-hours per year. So that's about $1,000 per year. This is one of the reasons why alternative energy is so difficult to implement--your electricity is really a bargain.

-- Look on the data plate on the fan, or in the little information bookletthat came with it. Find the number of watts it uses when it's running...... It may be a number with 'W' after it...... It may be a number with 'VA' after it...... If the only number you find is one with 'Amp' or 'A' after it, multiply itby 120 in the USA, or by 240 outside of North America.-- Multiply the number you have now by 0.012 . The result is the electric consumptionof the fan in 12 hours of running, in 'Kilowatt-hours' ... KWH . That's the number thatappears on both the electric meter and the monthly bill.Reasonable numbers might be something in the range of 0.6 to 2 .
Turning off any unnecessary electrical equipment will save energy - no matter what the weather is ! The trouble is - many people prefer to leave TV's etc on 'stand-by' rather than switch them off completely. Even if a TV is on stand-by - it's still using electricity - since the circuit that checks for a signal from the remote is still active !Boiling a cup of water in the microwave (instead of using a kettle) uses much less electricity !
Your are paying for the work of the electric power company and that is power in kilowatts times time in hours. You pay for "kilowatthours".
Watts means the electric power and kilowatthours means electric energy. Compare: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_energy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy Cheers ebs
An electricity meter
no. r u kidding me!! Yes my wife and I do use an electric blanket with one or two other blankets. We have for years. We are very safety and health minded, so our process is to turn on the blanket 2-3 hours before we go to bed, then turn it off so we are not exposed to the normal EMF radiation from any electric current. We do not have the blanket on when we are not home to monitor it. We are mindful to never fold or bend the internal resistance wiring.
an electric blanket uses 200 watts(wattage). If you left your electric blanket on for 10 hours you might end upwith a 30 to 50 cent fine.

It depends on your community and the cost of electricity, the horse power rating of the pump and how many hours of run time.
Electric energy is measure in Units which are kilowatt-hours. Your electricity meter records the usage in Units over the billing period. The meter measures the true power and not the volts times the amps.
The peak hours of electricity usage during the summer and winter are between 12-4pm. Winter usage overnight tends to be higher than in the summer. Programmable thermostats are a great help to reducing electric usage.
The electricity used depends on the the size of the range. An electric stove if used one hour a day can use between 23 and 48 kilowatt hours per month.
An electric power company charges less for electricity used during off-peak hours when production costs are lower.
Kilo = 1000. Watts the produce of Amps x Volts. One hour is not divided up into kilowatt hours, it is the use of 1000 watts over a period of one hour.
