There is often a misconception about running AC that the electricity meter does not run fast due to its high consumption. Often people keep switching the AC on and off from time to time to save bills. Do you know how much electricity an AC running in a house needs in an hour? The way to know this is very simple. But before you know this, you have to see how many watts of electricity your air conditioner draws.
How much power an AC consumes depends entirely on its voltage. The power consumption of an air conditioner also depends on its quality. That is, if you buy a five star and inverter AC, then it will consume less power. Whereas a single star or two star or non-inverter air conditioner will consume more power. So let us know how much power an air conditioner consumes in about an hour.
How much electricity does an AC consume in an hour?
Talking about a 1.5 ton five star inverter air conditioner, it is of 1300 watts so understand how much electricity it will consume. Divide 1300 by 1000 to know how many units this AC will use in an hour. The result is 1.3 which means your AC is consuming 1.3 units in an hour. Now multiply it by 1.3 to get the cost of one unit of electricity which is around eight rupees. The result is that the AC consumes this much electricity in an hour.
This means that a five star inverter AC weighing one and a half ton consumes electricity worth only Rs 10.4 per hour. In this way you can average the power consumption of the air conditioner. But you should know how many watts the machine is.
Air conditioner bill depends on these things
It should be noted that the per unit cost of electricity varies with the power consumption of each household. Thus the price mentioned above may be more or less. Apart from this, some fixed charges are also added to the final electricity bill. Apart from this, the power consumption also depends on the condition of the air conditioner. If your AC is very old or has not been serviced for a long time or it is a rented air conditioner then its quality has changed, this may affect the power consumption.
