The Price of cool
Jul. 16th, 2017 02:50 amJust got around top doing some calculations about the power my new air conditioner uses.
It's 1280 watt. That's 1.28 kW. So running it for an hour uses 1.28 kW/hr. And it looks like I'm paying more than $0.10 per kW/hr. Which means that it'd gonna cost me more than $3/day. Ouch.
Immediately turned it off and opened the window and turned on the fan in the bedroom window.
I'll save it for the really hoi days...
