Switching several appliances at once changes three things: your yearly running cost, your electrical panel, and the backup power you need during an outage. Tick your switches to see all three, then share the link with a partner or electrician.
How this is worked out
- Running cost: the appliance switch compare, with typical efficiencies and usage (not measured for your home).
- Panel: the panel fit checker, NEC 220.83 (2023 NEC) against typical existing nameplates (range 12,000 VA, dryer 5,000 VA, water heater 4,500 VA, dishwasher 1,200 VA, no existing electric heating or AC). Use the full tool to enter yours.
- Model numbers: type one to fill the nameplate VA from the maker's own page (amps x highest published voltage). We only have a handful of models so far; otherwise the typical value is used, and you can edit every number.
- Backup: running watts are the typical nameplate of each model; daily energy is the yearly electricity divided by 365; both go through the same sizing maths as the main calculator. No AI is involved in any number.
