Watts are useful to see how much draw an appliance has while kWH are useful to see how much it costs. Example, my toaster is an energy hog at 1,468 watts but my kWH consumption is about a dime per month as is rarely runs.
Yesterday my AC ran for eleven hours and five minutes. The day before run time was four minutes less. But I set my AC by temp so I never consider run time.

So, according to my math (496,120,000 watts /1000 watts per KwH ) = 496,,120 KwH per month ? I don't think that is right.
