How to calculate the electricity cost of air conditioning? Analysis of hot topics across the Internet
As the high temperature continues in summer, air conditioners have become the "main force" in household electricity consumption. How to calculate the power consumption of air conditioners has become a hot topic on the Internet recently. This article will combine the hot discussions in the past 10 days, use structured data to analyze the calculation method of air conditioner power consumption, and provide power saving tips.
1. Calculation formula of air conditioning power consumption

The power consumption of air conditioners mainly depends on the following three factors:
| Influencing factors | Description | Reference value |
|---|---|---|
| Cooling power | Air conditioner nominal power (watts) | 1 horse≈735W |
| usage time | Daily operating hours | Calculated based on actual usage |
| Energy efficiency ratio | Cooling capacity/power consumption | New level 1 energy efficiency≈5.0 |
Calculation formula:Power consumption (degree) = cooling power (W) × usage time (h) ÷ 1000
2. Comparison of power consumption of air conditioners with different numbers of units
| Number of air conditioners | Refrigeration power (W) | 8 hours of power consumption (kWh) | Electricity fee (0.6 yuan/kWh) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 horse | 735 | 5.88 | 3.53 yuan |
| 1.5 horses | 1100 | 8.80 | 5.28 yuan |
| 2 horses | 1470 | 11.76 | 7.06 yuan |
| 3 horses | 2200 | 17.60 | 10.56 yuan |
3. Top 5 most popular power-saving techniques on the Internet
| Ranking | Power saving methods | Estimated power saving effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Set above 26℃ | Save 6-8% electricity for every 1°C rise |
| 2 | Use with fan | Reduce body temperature by 2-3°C |
| 3 | Clean the filter regularly | Improve efficiency by 10-15% |
| 4 | Use sleep mode | Save 20% electricity at night |
| 5 | Avoid frequent switching | Power consumption during startup is 3 times that during operation |
4. Hot parameters for purchasing air conditioners
According to the latest sales data of e-commerce platforms, the TOP3 air-conditioning parameters that consumers are most concerned about:
| parameters | Attention | Recommended value |
|---|---|---|
| Energy efficiency level | 89% | New Level 1 Energy Efficiency |
| Frequency conversion technology | 76% | Full DC frequency conversion |
| Intelligent control | 65% | APP remote control |
5. Expert advice
1. Choose the appropriate number of units according to the room area. 150W cooling capacity is required per square meter.
2. Pay attention to the APF (Annual Energy Consumption Efficiency) value. The higher the value, the more energy you save.
3. Choose a model with “ECO energy saving mode”
4. Pay attention to the heat dissipation space of the outdoor unit when installing.
With the above data and tips, you can more accurately calculate the power consumption of your air conditioner and take effective measures to reduce your electricity bills. It is recommended to regularly check the meter readings to verify the actual power consumption, and combine the smart meter data to more accurately understand the power consumption pattern.
