- Running cost
What does your air conditioning cost to run?
Pick up the phone and tell us what is going on. We will explain what we would check before anybody is booked in. Serving Thousand Oaks and nearby.
How it's worked out
Size
One ton of cooling is 12,000 Btu per hour.
Efficiency
SEER2 is roughly Btu of cooling per watt-hour of electricity over a season. Higher means less electricity for the same cooling.
The sum
kWh ≈ tons × 12,000 ÷ SEER2 ÷ 1,000 × hours × days.
Why it matters
Compare an older system with a newer one at the same size to see the difference in kilowatt-hours.
Thinking about an upgrade?
We'll size a replacement properly and set out the efficiency options side by side.
