How much electricity does AC use?
“How much electricity does AC use?” is the question that drives the search for energy efficiency. Information on this page breaks down the electricity consumption numbers for air conditioners. Granting that these figures can vary, The Peak Energy Saver can further reduce them by an additional 15-20%. We encourage you to read on for the technical details. In short, we will show you how the Peak Energy Saver makes everything better.
The U.S. Department of Energy has calculated that a square foot of conditioned space in a home requires 20 BTUs of energy to cool. This is true for central AC systems and portable or window unit models. There are variables in this calculation like ceiling height, number of windows, air flow and roof sun exposure.
We will use average numbers in answering this question. Next, we will convert those 20 BTUs/ ft² into actual dollars you spend to cool your home. The average home in the U.S. has about 1800ft² of conditioned space. Some quick math (20 BTUs/ ft² X 1800 ft²) yields an average central AC size requirement of 36,000 BTUs or a 3-ton AC unit 12,000 BTUs=1 ton of AC)., cooler climates require less, and hotter climates demand more. Using an average run-time of 4 hours per day, this 3-ton unit will consume between 35 and 45 kWh of electricity per day.
Other contributing factors, such thermostat setting, how well is a structure insulated, age and SEER of the AC system and the outside temperature will also affect usage. The average consumption number of 40 kWh is a good starting point. Click here to see the nationwide average price of electricity. The June, 2022, price was 14.47¢/kWh. You are paying about $5.79/day to stay comfortable, or $174 per month.
