1. Guide on calculating air conditioner electricity consumption
The power of air conditioners is measured in BTU or HP. The conversion rate is 9,000 BTU = 1 HP.
1 kW equals 3.412 BTU
1.0 BTU equals 0.293 kW
Formula for calculating air conditioner electricity consumption:
A = P x t
Where:
A: electricity consumption
P: power (unit: kW)
t: duration of use (unit: hour)
According to advice from air conditioner technicians, to accurately calculate actual electricity consumption, you need to add an additional 0.2 to 0.25 kW.
