The electric companies generally use Kilowatt hours, which means you are using 1000 Watts of energy for one hour.Gaia Saunas are measured in amps. To convert amps to watts you simply multiply the voltage x amps. For example a 5 Amp motor which operates a vacuum and runs on 110 Volts, uses 550Watts of energy, and would use a kilowatt hour in 1 hour, 50 minutes. The Electric Company in San Diego, CA (one of the nation's most expensive energy companies) charges 15cents per Kilowatt hour. |
