What you meant to ask is 'How many watts does the average TV use?' The answer is usually in the range of 80 to 200 for a flat screen TV and rather higher for an old CRT TV. The number of kWh it consumes depends entirely on how many hours it is switched on, not forgetting to take into account and current used on standby.

Examine your television set; somewhere at the back, you should see how much watts it uses. If it doesn't, look for volts and ampères, and multiply those to get watts. A kilowatt is 1000 watts; a device that uses 1000 watts will use 1 kWh per hour; one that uses 100 watts will use 0.1 kWh per hour, etc.

Check the power rating of the TV, and multiply by how many hours you used it for. Say if it uses 180W and you have it on for 4 hours, you will have used 180W * 4 = 720 watt-hours which equals 0.72 kWh. This won't be exact, the TV will use different amounts of power depending on what is displayed on it, how bright the light it is emitting, how loud the speakers etc, but this should give a pretty good estimate.

"Average TV" is an ill-defined term. Any given TV should have its power requirements listed (probably somewhere on the back); they'll be given in watts (a power, or energy per time, unit) rather than kWh (an energy unit). Most likely it'll be somewhere between 100 and 400 watts, meaning that in an hour it will use between 0.1 and 0.4 kWh.

How many kilowatts per hour does a flat screen tv use?

None. There is no such thing as a 'kilowatt per hour'. If, on the other hand, you are asking how many 'kilowatt hours' a flatscreen television uses, simply look at its nameplate to find its power rating in kilowatts (more likely, it's in watts, so you need to divide by 1000), and multiply it by 1 to find the number of kilowatt hours consumed over a period of one hour.

How many Kilowatts does a 3000 sq ft house use in an hour?

First of all, 'kilowatts' is a rate of using energy, not an amount of energy. Your electric companydoesn't charge you for 'kilowatts'; they charge you for 'kilowatt-hours'.But we'll let that pass for right now.The number of kilowatt-hours, or kilowatts, that a house uses really kind of depends on what allis plugged in and running in the house. If the family is on vacation and the only things running inthe house are a couple of clocks and the refrigerator, the house is using maybe 0.1 kilowatts onthe average.If everybody's home, it's a weekend in the winter, it's freezing outside, the missus is cookingon the electric stove, the old man is either taking a nice hot shower or else watching the gameon his new 350-inch HDTV, the kids are all in their rooms with their TVs and computers on, thethermostat is set at 75 and the electric baseboard heaters are trying hard to keep the housewarm, and there's a load of laundry going, that house could be using 15 or 20 kilowatts right now.Dad would like to take a nap, but that dang noise coming from the spinning electric meteris keeping him awake.
