Using air conditioning throughout the summer also raises electricity bills. Here is the straightforward calculation method in case you're also curious about how much electricity a one-ton air conditioner uses while it runs all night.

The acerbic attitude of the heat has begun to emerge. air conditioners are widely employed in such circumstances to provide relief from the intense heat, which has also grown in importance.  However, have you considered how much using air conditioning for a single night might raise your electricity bill?  Knowing how much it will cost you is crucial, particularly if your one-ton air conditioner runs all night.

If you would like to estimate your power cost as well, we will provide you with a clever formula and advice that will allow you to do it in as little as two minutes.  Now let's discuss those easy calculations and clever summertime electricity-saving strategies.
 
How to calculate electricity bill?

To find out the electricity cost related to AC, you will need only some simple information:

Ton capacity of AC: (eg - 1 ton AC = about 1.2 kW power)

Daily running time: (eg - 8 hours)

Electricity rate (per unit): ₹6 to ₹8 according to the unit

How many days in a month is it being used: (eg - 30 days)

Formula:

Bill (₹) = Power (kW) × Hours/Day × Days/Month × Rate per unit (₹)

How much electricity will it use if it runs all night?

Suppose you have a 1 ton AC, whose power is about 1.2 kW per hour. If you run the AC for an average of 8 hours a day, then according to this, you will have to multiply all these according to this formula for monthly consumption. Like - Bill (₹) = Power (kW) × Hours × Days (1.5 × 8 × 30), this means that your 1 ton AC has used a total of 360Kwh of electricity in the whole month.

Estimate the electricity bill like this

Now multiply it with the per unit cost of electricity in your city. For example, the electricity rate in your city is ₹ 8 per unit, so to calculate the cost of AC, you will have to multiply these two together.

Formula - Bill = 1.2 × 8 × 30 × 8
= ₹ 2,304 per month

That is, just by using a 1-ton AC overnight, your monthly electricity bill can be more than ₹ 2,304.

Tips to save:

• The ideal temperature for the air conditioner is between 24 and 25 degrees Celsius.
 
•  Use a ceiling fan in conjunction with the air conditioner to speed up and reduce cooling time.
 
•  At night, go to sleep mode to save electricity.
 
•  To maintain the cooling efficiency, get the air conditioner serviced periodically.
 
•  Seal the spaces between windows and doors to make the rooms airtight.
