This effectivly means that you have 58 one KW appliances on for one hour each, or the equivilant, so something like this: 2 very inefficient fridges on 24 hours = 2kwh 5 loads through the washing machine = 8kwh large kettle boiling for two hours a day = 4kwh 2 1kw electric heaters on for 10 hours a day = 20 kwh Tv and computer and radio on full volume all day = 1kwh 10 light bulbs never switched off = 4kwh 3 freezers = 3 kwh hovering with an inefficient machine for 5 hours a day = 8kwh ...
