Since summers are quite irritating, you need to run the air-conditioner the whole day. But you have a tension back of the mind. It is the tension of paying hefty electricity bills at the end of the month.

Yes, we all know that all heating and cooling devices consume a lot of electricity. This is because they need to make a change in the temperature, which is an energy-consuming activity.

Whether you install window air-conditioning, portable Air Conditioning, or split system air conditioning in Adelaide, they are not very different in power consumption.

Air conditioner usage varies based on the size of the system. However, if we think about ballpark figures, a central Air Conditioner consumes between 3000 and 3500 watts per hour.

Window units consume between 900 and 1440 watts per hour.

The power consumption of portable units is between 2900 and 4100 watts per hour.

If there is a 1500W inverter Air-conditioner, then it will use roughly 60 units of power (Pa) per hour.

A non-inverter 1000W Air-conditioner will use about 47 units of power (Pa) per hour.

It’s important to note that these numbers depend on many other internal and external aspects such as climate, thermostat setting, and so on.

Therefore, to calculate it precisely, you need to call an expert, who provides air-conditioning consultancy. In Adelaide air conditioning installers also have specialists, who answer the questions and queries of customers.

Calculating the cost

To calculate the cost of running window air-conditioning, split air-conditioning, portable air-conditioning, or evaporative air conditioning Adelaide, you need a kilowatt-hour (kWh) meter to measure. However, it is a tough task if the utility provider does not mention it in the bill.

The best thing is to call a consultant. He has the expertise of calculating accurate consumption.

Is it worth keeping the air-conditioner On and Off intermittently?

Many people think that it is more energy efficient to keep the air conditioner off after some time. They feel that once the temperature becomes cool, there is no need to keep the system on.  Thus, they can save a few bucks.

But it is not true fully. If there is not a big difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures, then you can get some benefits.

But if the difference is big, then it is better to keep the system on. Keep the air-conditioning system running and you will enjoy comfort and saving both.
