    It's got 3 heating elements, each marked 400w. Would it be 1kilowatt per hour and if so, roughly how much is that with the Esb?

    Thanks

    Its just as handy to do it yourself for items like heaters and kettles etc.

    3x 400 watt elements - 1200 watts or 1.2kw

    18 cent per kw per hour x 1.2 = about 22 cent an hour.

    3kw kettle 54 cent an hour
    9kw shower = €1.62 an hour. 10 minute shower = 27 cent

    200w tv = 3.6 cent an hour.
