How to calculate electricity bill?

To find out the electricity cost related to AC, you will need only some simple information:

Ton capacity of AC: (eg - 1 ton AC = about 1.2 kW power)

Daily running time: (eg - 8 hours)

Electricity rate (per unit): ₹6 to ₹8 according to the unit

How many days in a month is it being used: (eg - 30 days)

Formula:

Bill (₹) = Power (kW) × Hours/Day × Days/Month × Rate per unit (₹)

How much electricity will it use if it runs all night?

Suppose you have a 1 ton AC, whose power is about 1.2 kW per hour. If you run the AC for an average of 8 hours a day, then according to this, you will have to multiply all these according to this formula for monthly consumption. Like - Bill (₹) = Power (kW) × Hours × Days (1.5 × 8 × 30), this means that your 1 ton AC has used a total of 360Kwh of electricity in the whole month.

Estimate the electricity bill like this

Now multiply it with the per unit cost of electricity in your city. For example, the electricity rate in your city is ₹ 8 per unit, so to calculate the cost of AC, you will have to multiply these two together.

Formula - Bill = 1.2 × 8 × 30 × 8
= ₹ 2,304 per month

That is, just by using a 1 ton AC overnight, your monthly electricity bill can be more than ₹ 2,304.

Smart Tips: To save electricity bills

Set the AC at 24-25°C – this is the most optimum temperature.

Run the AC with a ceiling fan – cooling will be faster and will take less time.

Use sleep mode at night – this will reduce power consumption.

Get the AC serviced from time to time – so that the cooling efficiency remains.

Make the rooms airtight – seal the gaps between doors and windows.
