**Cost = (Wattage x Hours of Use x Electricity Rate) / 1000**
<h3>Standby Power Consumption</h3>

<p>Not all water dispensers are created equal when it comes to energy efficiency. Look for models with an Energy Star rating, which indicates that the dispenser meets certain energy efficiency standards. These dispensers typically consume less energy than their counterparts, leading to lower electricity bills and a smaller environmental footprint. </p>
### Myth 3:  Water Dispensers are Always Expensive to Run
Now, we can calculate the energy consumption for each use:
<tr>
* **Hotter temperatures:** In hot climates, the refrigerator component of a water dispenser will work harder to maintain the desired temperature, increasing energy use.
