How many watts does an aircon consume in an hour?

Answer 1

You will need more information to determine this. An appliance should have a special tag or etching on their back/bottom (or some other inconvenient location) that states what the wattage is. Look for the part that gives the watts or as an alternative, the amps used in operation.

Assuming you are concerned about electricity usage, keep in mind that your power consumption is measured in kilowatt-hours, or 1000 x watt-hours.

Looking at the electrical definition of the watt (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt) one watt is defined to be 1 amp x 1 volt. Here is a sample calculation:

Assume your A/C takes 10.0 amps to operate at 120 volts of house current. That turns out to be 10.0 x 120 = 1,200 watts of energy, which is equivalent to 1.2 kilowatts. So, if you operate the A/C for 1 hour, you have consumed 1.2 kilowatt-Hours. If you operate this 10 amp A/C for 24-hours, you will consume 24 hours x 1.2 kilowatt = 28.8 kilowatt-hours in one day.

Answer 2

It depends on the size of the air conditioner. But an air conditioner along with all electrical equipment will use an amount of watts or kilowatts continuously. The energy used is measured in watt-hours or kilowatt-hours, in other words multiply the watts by the hours it is switched on.

Answer 3

Same as in a second, or in a century. A kilowatt is a unit of power, not of energy.

Answer 4

The answer will depend upon the size and efficiency of the unit, and how often the internal compressor runs, according to the amount of heat it needs to remove from the room.

Answer 5

mine uses 20,000 per hr BUT I have an extremely large home

Answer 6

Depends on the size of the aircon.
