a kilowatt hour measures electrical usage in the home usually 600 to 1200 kwh for the average home
Your question reminds me of the most important lesson my intro to engineering professor taught us. The answer to every question is, "well that depends." This one seriously depends. Your location, house size, appliance configuration, and living habits will all have dramatic affects on your electical usage. I think my bills up in Alaska ranged from an average of 5-10 kW average to 35+ in the winter.

The usage is measured by gas and electricity meters. A gas meter measures the volume of gas passing through. An electricity meter is an energy meter which measures the kilowatt-hours use.

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.
We pay for the electricity by the kilowatt hour. An energy-efficient lightbulb has a low kilowatt usage rating.
Kilowatt hours.
Measuring electricity usage.
Power consumption is measured in kilowatt hours.
Los Angeles uses 69 billionÊkilowatt hours every year, on average. This makes up almost 25% of the kilowatt hour usage of the whole state of California, and is the largest usage in the state.Ê
To measure electricity you use a multimeter to display voltage, resistance, amperage, etc. But to measure the rate at which you use electricity, I would recommend a Kill-A-Watt device, which tells you how much electricity appliances in your home are using, among other useful information.AnswerWhen you say 'electricity usage', you presumably mean 'energy consumption'? If this is the case, then you measure energy consumption using an energy meter which expresses energy consumption in kilowatt hours.
