Aircon Power Consumption Calculator Philippines

How to Use This Calculator

To use this aircon power consumption calculator:

1. Enter your air conditioner's power rating in watts (W).
2. Select the number of hours you typically use the AC per day.
3. Enter the number of days per month you use the AC.
4. Click "Calculate" to see your estimated monthly power consumption and cost.

The calculator uses the Philippines' average electricity rate of ₱12.50 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for cost calculations. You can adjust this rate if needed.

Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formulas:

Where:

• Power Rating is the wattage of your air conditioner (W)
• Hours Used per Day is the average number of hours you run the AC daily
• Days Used per Month is the average number of days you use the AC monthly
• Electricity Rate is the current cost per kilowatt-hour in the Philippines (₱12.50 by default)

Worked Example

Let's calculate the power consumption for a 1.5 kW (1500 W) air conditioner used 8 hours per day for 30 days:

This means your 1.5 kW air conditioner would cost approximately ₱4,500 per month to run under these conditions.

Tips for Reducing Aircon Power Consumption

Here are some practical ways to reduce your air conditioner's power consumption:

• Use energy-efficient models with an Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of 3.0 or higher
• Set your thermostat to the highest comfortable temperature (around 26°C)
• Use ceiling fans to improve air circulation and reduce AC usage
• Close curtains and blinds during the day to block direct sunlight
• Use a timer to automatically turn off the AC when you're not home
• Regularly clean or replace air filters to improve efficiency
• Consider using a smart thermostat for better temperature control
