portable air conditioner electric consumption?
i have a 2 car garage with an insulated wall behind it.using a whirlpool portable a/c with a btu of 10,000 1280 watts and 120 amps.how much will this raise my electric bill if i use it during the day 4 the whole summer.
The answer by 'scoutma53' is for the highest cost...if the a/c unit runs non-stop during the day.
Should the heat load be such(effect of good insulation) that the unit turns on and off(cycling), then your actual cost will be much less.
( it would be the highest cost calculated multiplied by the cycling rate....40min/hr=40/60=2/3 rate
Example....cost for 30 day billing for 8 hrs per day, with an effective rate of 2/3 and ...cost of 1 KWH at 11 cents....
.......1.280 x 8 x 30 x 2/3 x 11=$ 22.50 while non-stop=$ 33.79
