First of all, 'kilowatts' is a rate of using energy, not an amount of energy. Your electric company
doesn'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 all
is plugged in and running in the house. If the family is on vacation and the only things running in
the house are a couple of clocks and the refrigerator, the house is using maybe 0.1 kilowatts on
the average.
If everybody's home, it's a weekend in the winter, it's freezing outside, the missus is cooking
on the electric stove, the old man is either taking a nice hot shower or else watching the game
on his new 350-inch HDTV, the kids are all in their rooms with their TVs and computers on, the
thermostat is set at 75 and the electric baseboard heaters are trying hard to keep the house
warm, 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 meter
is keeping him awake.
