In this article, my goal is to offer a straightforward explanation of how RV air conditioners consume electricity. To achieve this, I’ll start by clarifying the different aspects of your RV AC’s electricity use, specifically its Power Usage (measured in…
Compared to other types of air conditioners, such as window AC units and ducted air conditioners, mini-splits are pretty energy-efficient, in the sense that they use less power (kW) and consume less energy (kWh) to perform the same amount of…
In this article, I discuss the electricity usage of portable air conditioners, specifically, their Power Usage (measured in Watts), their Energy Consumption (measured in kWh), and their Amp Draw (measured in Amps). Whether you’re trying to size equipment that’ll run…
When it comes to understanding the electricity usage of a window air conditioner, it’s essential to grasp the concept of Electrical Energy. Electrical energy is the unit of measurement that determines your monthly electricity bill. For example, In the United…
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…
Generators are rated in Watts (or kiloWatts/kW), which represents the amount of power they are capable of producing. So, before you can determine the right generator size to run your air conditioner, you’ll first need to figure out the power…
The electricity usage of a mini fridge, or more precisely, the amount of energy it consumes over time, is influenced by various factors. These factors include the room temperature, temperature setpoint, usage patterns (such as door openings and fridge fullness),…
