I am going to guess that wherever you got this from figured the avg. cost statewide in each state. IF NOT THEN WE CAN NOT USE THESE #'S FOR MUCH. Where I live in In Southwestern IN each company sets their own price. My girlfriends parents who live 1/4 mile from me pay around 7 cents, but I pay nearly 10 cents. The cutoff from 1 electric company to the other lies somewhere in between. I was like :WHOA::WHOA::WHOA: :swear::swear::swear:when I saw that they used more electricity than we do and had a bill that was far far less.
 
Yet another reason I decided to stick to mostly cold water species. No heating bill! LOL.

Thanks for posting this. :)
 
Great Post! Also FYI: When purchasing pumps for the aquarium or pond industry watch out for the marketing phrase "Energy Efficient". These industries do not have a golden standard on defining what that is! Appliances do...it's called "Energy Star" and can be found on items such as refrigerators, stoves, washing machines and so on. So the next time you want to buy a pump don't just look for the words "Energy Efficient" use the info above to make an educated decision on your purchase!

Here is a great calculator for the ones that just want to fill in the numbers

where did your regional figures come from. im confused! from what i can see on my bill is 1.7 per day ? my bill reads energy charge per day.. 2100 kwh @ $0.073630 that times 24 hours is 1.7 cents a day??

so i got.
280x24=6720/1000=6.72x.073630=.4947936 so about .49 cents a day?
