Get me that info and I get give you a better estimate. but face it, "tv, a/c, the lights, etc." is pretty vague. it could be 100 watts average, it could be 5000 watts average. But get that info and the calculation is as follows, as an example: TV 200 watts, 4 hours per day, 200*4 =800 watt-hours per day AC 1000 watts, 8 hours per day, 1000*8 = 8000 watt hours per day refrig 400 watts 12 hours per day, 4800 watt hours per day total 800+8000+4800 = 13600 watt-hours per day = 14 kW-hours per day 14 kW-hours per day x 30 days/month = 420 kW-hours per month 420 kW-hours per month x $0.16 per kW-hour = $67 per month .

AC 1000 watts, 8 hours per day, 1000*8 = 8000 watt hours per day
refrig 400 watts 12 hours per day, 4800 watt hours per day

total 800+8000+4800 = 13600 watt-hours per day = 14 kW-hours per day

14 kW-hours per day x 30 days/month = 420 kW-hours per month

420 kW-hours per month x $0.16 per kW-hour = $67 per month
