jasonvanwyk Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) Hi All does anyone know how to, or where I can find a formula to work out how much it costs to heat water in say for example a 250lt geyser with a 3kw element in 20 c ambient temperature. I have a feeling the formula may not be as straightforward, with many factors to take into account. Some education would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

"Calculate the kilowatt-hours (kWh) required to heat the water using the following formula: Pt = (4.2 × L × T ) ÷ 3600. Pt is the power used to heat the water, in kWh. L is the number of liters of water that is being heated and T is the difference in temperature from what you started with, listed in degrees Celsius."
