Appliances
Defaults are a starting point. Every one is editable on the dial.
| Appliance | Default | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Dishwasher | 1.2 kW × 1 h | Low end of the DOE nameplate range, 1,200–2,400 W |
| Laundry | 3.5 kW × 1 h | Washer 350–500 W plus an electric dryer at 3,000 W (DOE range 1,800–5,000 W) |
| EV charge | 7.2 kW × 4 h | Our assumption for a Level 2 (240 V) home charger |
| Pool pump | 1.5 kW × 4 h | Our assumption; check your pump's label |
| AC pre-cool | 3.5 kW × 2 h | Our assumption for a 3-ton central air conditioner |
Gas dryers and heat-pump dryers use far less electricity. Set the kW to match yours.
