How to estimate the power consumption of air conditioners and other electrical appliances
The basic estimation method is: electrical appliance power (kilowatts) × usage time (hours) = power consumption (kWh). For example, if an appliance with a rated power of 1 kilowatt is used for 2 hours, the theoretical power consumption is about 2 kilowatt hours. Actual power consumption may be affected by load, temperature, settings and device efficiency.
