Florida customers are mostly served by investor-owned utilities, municipal utilities and co-ops, and there is no retail electricity choice. Bills are driven by air conditioning for much of the year, so summer bills run well above the annual average.
How to calculate
Formula: monthly kWh = watts ÷ 1,000 × hours per day × days per month. Cost = monthly kWh × rate.
Worked example: 1,000 watts, 5 hours per day, 30 days, at the Florida average of $0.1414 per kWh. Monthly use = 150 kWh, monthly cost = $21.21. At the U.S. average the same use costs $24.72.
