Air conditioner electricity consumption calculator
Estimate the cost of running an air conditioner based on its power, operating hours and electricity price.
Calculatete now →How much does an air conditioner cost to run?
Air conditioners can have highly variable consumption. An inverter unit often modulates its power instead of running continuously at maximum output, so real measurement is especially useful.
Cost depends on power, selected temperature, insulation, outdoor temperature, equipment technology and operating time.
Use the calculator with example values →What do you need to calculate it?
Enter the appliance power, usage hours, days per month and your approximate price per kWh. If there is standby consumption, you can add it separately.
How to get a real-world figure
When possible, use an electricity consumption meter. This lets you replace the estimate with the measured consumption of your own appliance.
Basic formula
Consumption (kWh) = potencia (W) ÷ 1000 × horas de uso.
Cost = consumption (kWh) × electricity price.
