A common question for our restoration technicians during the emergency dry out is how much extra on my power bill is this going to cost me?  To dry out structures there are certain pieces of equipment like air movers, dehumidifiers, he-pa air scrubbers.  To achieve a dry standard these tools are very important but they require certain amounts of power (amps) to run them.  Most of your house hold circuits are 15 to 20 amps and your dryer and stove outlets are 25-40 amps.The wall outlets in your home (15-20) amps are a 110 volt and the dryer and stove outlets are a 220 volt.  We if convenient for the home owner will utilize these outlets to run our equipment.  The answer to the question above is simple math  AMPS x VOLTS x 24 /1000 x COST PER KILO WATT HOUR= COST PER DAY.  For example we have 10 air movers, 3 dehus, and 1 air scrubber on the project.  The air movers pull 3 amps, dehus 8 amps, and the air scrubber 5 amps.  All are being run off of the wall outlets at 110 volts, and the areas cost per kilo watt hour is .09.  Air movers amps = 30  Dehus amps = 24 Air scrubbers amps= 5.    Total amps are 59 x110 x 24 / 1000 x .09 = cost per day.  The cost per day is $14.02, which is almost always paid for by your insurance provider.
