4. What is the cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour (kWh) in your area?
5. Are there any specific periods (e.g., peak hours) when the appliance is used more frequently?
6. Do you have access to a smart meter or energy monitoring device for more accurate data?
7. Are there any energy-saving features or settings on the appliance that you currently use?
8. What is the primary purpose of this analysis (e.g., cost reduction, environmental impact, etc.)?
9. Would you like recommendations for alternative appliances or energy-saving practices?
10. Is there any additional information or context you think is relevant to this analysis?
