If you’re considering installing an air conditioning unit in your home, you may be wondering how much electricity it will use. At Horsforth Heating Solutions, we specialize in air conditioning installation and are here to provide some information on the electricity usage of these units.

The amount of electricity that an air conditioning unit uses will depend on a few factors, including the size of the unit, the efficiency of the unit, and the amount of use it gets. In general, air-conditioning units use a significant amount of electricity, as they must work to cool your home or office by removing heat and moisture from the air.

To get a better understanding of how much electricity an air conditioning unit might use, it’s helpful to look at the unit’s energy efficiency rating, or EER. The EER is a measure of how efficiently an air conditioning unit uses energy to cool a space. A higher EER rating indicates a more efficient unit that will use less electricity.

As a rough estimate, an air conditioning unit with an EER of 10 will use about 3,500 watts of electricity per hour. If you run the unit for 8 hours per day, it will use about 28,000 watts of electricity per day, or about 280 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per month. Keep in mind that this is just an estimate, and your actual electricity usage will depend on the size of your unit and your specific usage patterns.
