🧮 How It Works
Our calculator uses a comprehensive multi-factor formula that considers:
- Power Consumption: AC wattage (typically 800-2500W)
- Usage Patterns: Hours per day and days per month
- Efficiency Rating: SEER (US), Star Rating (India), Energy Class (EU), etc.
- AC Type: Inverter vs Non-Inverter (30-50% efficiency difference)
- Temperature Settings: Each degree impacts consumption by 3-5%
- Room Insulation: Poor, Average, or Good quality affects runtime
- Local Electricity Rates: Your per-kWh cost in local currency
The formula: Cost = (Power in kW) × Hours × Days × Efficiency × AC Type × Temperature Factor × Insulation Factor × Rate per kWh
🌍 Environmental Impact
Beyond financial savings, our calculator helps you understand and reduce your carbon footprint. We display CO2 emissions in kilograms and show how many trees would be needed to offset this environmental impact annually. This makes it easier to make eco-conscious decisions about AC usage.
