How it works

Consumption = area × W/m² × hours × days / 1000. BTU needed ≈ area in m² × 340. Multiply kWh by your price for the cost.

Worked example

40 m² × 60 W/m² × 6 h × 90 days = 1,296 kWh ≈ 13,600 BTU needed.

Recommendations

  • A well-insulated room needs ~60 W/m², sunny rooms more
  • Oversized AC cools fast but cycles poorly
  • Set the thermostat 1°C higher to save ~6%

Tips & advice

  • Clean the filter every month in summer
  • Close blinds during the hottest hours
  • Use a fan to assist the AC and raise the setpoint
