It depends. "Standard House" in America/USA is no longer an equal thing from city to city. House's have been getting larger and larger, (except nowadays few larger homes are being built at all, as of this writing, May 2011). Most new houses have a main electrical circuit breaker panel rated for 200A-amp service. Older houses, many years old, have as little as 50A amp service panels and some even smaller, but very seldom less than 50A. Best to go with the local city's permitting office's requirements, otherwise known as, the AHJ or Authority-Having-Jurisdiction. A home's square footage is the most important factor to use, but, only after the AHJ office's requirements. You may put in a larger sized main panel than the AHJ required minimum. Again, check with your local permitting office. They're very willing to help you. If not, remind them this: Without people asking for their help, they're jobs go in jeopardy too!
Most new homes that are built today have a 200 amp 42 circuit panel installed. This equates at 240 volts to a capacity of 48,000 watts. A continuous house load is about 12,000 watts at mealtimes and laundry days. With electric heat in the winter time it will rise and when no one is a home it could get as low as 1000 watts.
A gazillion bruv. Why on earth would you ask such a dumb, inappropriate question? A gazillion bruv. Why on earth would you ask such a dumb, inappropriate question?
Averaging 1 kW over the 24 hours that is 24 units, and at 3.6 million Joules per unit that would be 86.4 million Joules

What is Average home water pressure?
Depending where you live in the world, in South Africa, the average water pressure is between 400 to 600 kpa.
A Type of power used by appliances in the homes is what?
home appliances are rated by watts or amps
How feasible is solar power generation?
Solar power generation is hard to get with a preexisting home for a low cost. Solar panels are possible, but they are expensive. A passive solar home uses the sun's energy both in winter and summer to heat or cool the house.
Is solar power good solar power?
yes ofcourse solar power is good in many ways. some good reasons for using solar energy to power your home. 1. Cut-down electricity bill The key reason that most households convert their power source to solar energy is to cut down their electrical bill because the electrical usage generated from the sun is free. By converting as many home appliances as possible to use solar energy, you can save a significant savings in your utilities expenses. 2. It is a renewable energy source Typical electricity is generated from fossil fuel that will run out one day. Solar energy is a good alternative to replace fossil fuel as the major energy source because solar power is renewable at absolutely no cost to supply energy infinitely. 3. Environment friendly The world pollution is getting worse. Any effort that can reduce the pollution to the environment helps to save the earth. Solar panels are able to harness the energy from the sun and convert it to electricity. Therefore, the use of solar panels is environment friendly. Therefore, solar energy that is harmless to the environment will be the major energy source for future - starting today. 4. Low / no maintenance needed Once you have installed the solar power system, it can last twenty to thirty years without major maintenance needed. You may need to do system check once a year, just to make sure everything is performing as it should. Since it requires very minimum maintenance cost, your cost should be minimal.
What is the average credit score needed for a home loan?

Average power bill?
The average electric power bill is $95. This is for a small to medium sized home. A larger home may cost more.
What size water pipe is needed to supply an average home?
1"
How strong of a surge protector should you get?
The strength of a surge protector is typically measured in joules. It is recommended to get a surge protector with at least 1000-2000 joules of protection for basic home or office use. For more sensitive electronics or in areas prone to frequent power surges, consider a surge protector with higher joules ratings (around 3000-4000 joules).
How many panels are needed to generate solar power for home use?
There is no general easy answer to how many panels are needed for your exact home. This depends on how much power you use, how much rainfall you receive in your location, and other factors. A solar panel can create 70 milliwatts of power per square inch, so completely changing an average home's power usage to solar would require a solar panel that measures about 285 square feet, or about 26 square meters. This would cost around $16000. Without decreasing your lifestyle's dependency on electricity, powering your home exclusively through solar power is difficult.
How many kws does it take to power the average home?
1.5 kw
How much does it cost to power an average home with natural gas?
200,000 dollars
What is the average power consumption of desktop computer?
It depends on what PC, but your power supply will normally say on the side of it. Most commonly is between 200-400 watts Power consumption is a combination of several things. The power listed on your power supply is the amount the power supply is capable of handling. The actual power consumption of the computer depends on what processes are being used, for example word processing will consume less power than heavy gaming. However, one can expect average computer use to consume 150-200W.
What is solar energy as an alternative energy source?
Solar energy is the most maintence free type of energy and the easiest to be generated by the average home owner. Power can be sent directly into the panel when it is collected and the home owner gets immediate credit for the power generated or it can be stored in batteries and converted to AC power when needed. It is the cleanest, and most trouble-free way to generate electricity.
How many joules are equal to 50000 volts?
Joules is equivalent to power over time. Power is equivalent to volts times current, so your question does not provide enough information to answer. To look at another way - you might ask how many joules (a measure of energy like kWh - what your electric company bills you on) are in 120 volts. If this were not dependent on current, then you would be constantly billed for every outlet in your home, regardless of whether they are in use. The fact that 120 volts is present at all outlets at all times does not mean that power is being used at all times.
How many watts of power does it take to run the average home in Canada?
15 watts
How many amps are needed to efficiently run a home?
Almost any average size home today will requre a 200 amp service panel.
