About US Home Watt

US Home Watt helps American homeowners understand what their energy use costs and find practical ways to lower it. We publish guides and a free calculator that estimates what an appliance costs to run.

Meet the writer: Saima

Saima is an independent, self-taught home energy researcher. She doesn’t hold a degree or professional certification in the field. She learns by reading primary sources, comparing manufacturer specifications and utility programs, and applying what she learns in her own household. When she cites a number, she links to the source so you can verify it.

What this means for you

• Our guides are educational, not professional engineering or financial advice.
• For electrical work, HVAC repair or installation, hire a licensed professional.
• Prices, rebates and savings vary by location and home. Check your own utility’s programs.
