With the increasing electricity costs, families in need of air conditioners are concerned about the energy-saving capabilities of the devices. Among them, the Sunhouse inverter SHR-AW18IC610 air conditioner is favored by many for its energy-saving inverter technology. So, how much electricity does this air conditioner model consume?
Does the Sunhouse inverter SHR-AW18IC610 air conditioner consume a lot of electricity?

The Sunhouse 1-way inverter SHR-AW18IC610 air conditioner is a budget-friendly version priced from only 11 million VND, yet it comes fully equipped with all necessary and useful features. Especially, regarding energy-saving capabilities, this 2hp air conditioner model is equipped with inverter technology with a power consumption of 1748W.
Based on such electricity consumption, we can calculate the daily electricity usage cost. If you use the air conditioner for cooling during the summer for five hours a day, it will consume about 8.7 kWh (5*1740W), equivalent to a cost of nearly 22,000 VND (2500 VND/kWh).
These figures serve as indicative reference values as inverter air conditioners seldom operate at high continuous power, and the usage time of the air conditioner varies each day. However, through these indicators, it can be seen that the electricity savings are quite good compared to many other 2hp single-way inverter air conditioners on the market. Therefore, users can be reassured about their monthly electricity bills when using this Sunhouse air conditioner.
Furthermore, using this inverter air conditioner properly will contribute to better electricity savings.
Tips for using the Sunhouse inverter SHR-AW18IC610 air conditioner to save electricity
To maximize electricity savings when using the Sunhouse air conditioner, you should apply the following usage tips:
Use the timer function on the air conditioner

Using the timer function on the air conditioner is a very effective way to save energy. This function allows you to set the air conditioner to turn on/off at specific times, helping to adjust the room temperature smartly and save energy.
You can set the automatic shutdown mode when no one is in the room or schedule the air conditioner to turn on/off during peak energy hours of the day. This helps minimize the need for air conditioning during unnecessary times, reducing electricity consumption and saving energy costs.
Clean the filter regularly
Regularly cleaning the filter is one of the simplest ways to save energy for the air conditioner. When the filter is clogged with dust and dirt, the cold air flow will decrease, making the air conditioner work harder to reach the desired temperature. This will increase electricity consumption and reduce the cooling efficiency of the device.
You should clean the filter 1-2 times a month to ensure the cold air flow is always clear and minimize the air conditioner's electricity consumption. The cleaning method is also very simple, you can remove the filter and wash it with water or use a brush to clean dust and dirt on the filter surface. After cleaning, you can let the filter dry completely before reattaching it to the device.
Avoid heat loss outside

To save energy when using the air conditioner, you need to avoid heat loss outside. You should close the door tightly or use curtains to cover the door tightly to prevent heat absorption. However, occasionally every 2-3 hours, you should partially open the door to allow fresh air to enter the room for ventilation instead of completely closing the door.
Conclusion
Using the Sunhouse inverter SHR-AW18IC610 air conditioner does not consume excessive electricity, and it is even one of the most energy-saving models among Sunhouse 18000 BTU air conditioners. However, you should also use it correctly to maximize electricity savings to the optimal level.
