Your guide to smart, optimal, self-sufficient energy.
The BTU rating of an air conditioner represents its cooling capacity, or in other words, the amount of heat exchange that it can achieve within an hour. Naturally, the greater the cooling capacity of an air conditioner the more electricity…
Air conditioners are an essential appliance, particularly in areas with extreme temperatures. However, their high energy consumption is a cause for concern, especially for those looking to save on electricity bills or transition to independent sources of energy. But how…
Generators are classified based on their Electrical Power Capacity, which is typically measured in Watts (W) or kiloWatts (kW), with 1 kiloWatt being equivalent to 1000 Watts. To power your RV air conditioner effectively, your generator’s Wattage capacity should exceed…
Generators are rated in Watts (W), or kiloWatts (kW), indicating how much Electrical Power (Watts) they can handle. When sizing a generator for your heat pump, your primary consideration should be the maximum power, or Watts, that the heat pump…
Heat pumps rank among the most energy-intensive appliances in your household. But precisely how much electricity does a heat pump use? Well, there are a few electrical units that measure each aspect of electricity, such as: Amps, which measure Electrical…
When sizing a generator that’ll run your air conditioner or heat pump, you’ll need to ensure that the generator can handle the maximum power (Watts) your unit may require, while also having enough extra capacity for your other appliances. In…
Understanding the electricity usage of your air conditioner or heat pump involves two key aspects: Electrical Power Usage: This indicates how fast the AC or heat pump consumes electricity, measured in Watts (W) or kiloWatts (kW). More precisely, it reflects…
There are two key aspects to consider when it comes to the electricity usage of heat pumps and air conditioners: 1- Their Power Usage, measured in Watts (W) or kiloWatts (kW): This indicates how quickly the unit consumes electricity, essentially…
Generators are categorized by their Wattage, which indicates the amount of power that they are capable of generating. So, when sizing a generator that can run your air conditioner or heat pump, the first thing to consider is the maximum…
Just like any other appliance, the electricity usage of heat pumps and air conditioners can be measured in different ways, primarily: Power Usage of the Unit: This is measured in Watts or kiloWatts (kW). Energy Consumption of the Unit over…
