Kilowatts Per Hour

The electricity you use is measured in kilowatts per hour (kW/h). There are two main factors that determine kW/h costs for your home or small business.

Electricity Usage:Small households of 2 or 3 people will typically use less energy than a larger household of 4 or 5 people. However, the amount of energy used by a property is also dependent on factors such as the energy efficiency of appliances and how often they are used.
Electricity Prices:The other major factor determining energy costs is the price you pay for power. If you’re getting a good electricity deal, you’ll naturally have lower bills than a household struggling with maximum kW/h electricity rates.

If you’re keen to cut your electricity costs, the good news is that the power is in your hands to use the free GoSwitch energy price comparison service for making energy affordable.
