About electric oven running costs

Electric ovens cycle their elements to hold temperature, but pre-heating and long bakes still add up.

How to spend less: Skip pre-heating for most dishes and bake several items at once.

What this estimate assumes

  • The appliance draws its full stated wattage the whole time it is on. Real units with a thermostat cycle off and cost less.
  • Wattage is the typical label value, not a measured value. Check the label on your own appliance.
  • The rate is an approximate residential average in Utah. Your bill may include fixed fees, tiers or time-of-use pricing. Edit the rate above.
  • A month is 30 days and a year is 365 days.
