How Many Kilowatts Does a House Use per Day?

The amount of kilowatts (kW) a house uses per day can vary significantly based on several factors, including the size of the house, the number of occupants, the climate, and the energy efficiency of the appliances and systems in the home. However, we can provide a general estimate.
 
In the United States, for example, the average household consumes about 877 kWh (kilowatt-hours) per month according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). To find out how many kilowatt-hours a house uses per day, you can divide this monthly figure by 30:
 
Average daily usage = Monthly usage ÷ 30
 
Average daily usage = 877 kWh ÷ 30 ≈ 29.23 kWh/day
 
So, an average house in the U.S. uses approximately 29.23 kWh per day.
 
Keep in mind that this is just an average. Your actual daily usage could be higher or lower depending on your specific circumstances. For instance:
 
  • A larger home with more occupants might use more electricity.
  • Homes in colder climates might use more electricity for heating.
  • Homes in hotter climates might use more electricity for air conditioning.
  • Homes with energy-efficient appliances and lighting will generally use less electricity.
 
To get a more accurate estimate for your specific situation, you can look at your electric bill to see your total kWh usage for a month and then divide by the number of days in that billing period.
