Calculating the exact electricity bill can vary based on several factors, such as your electricity rate, local taxes, and other applicable charges. However, I can provide you with a rough estimate of the electricity consumption and its cost for using a 1.5-ton split AC with a 3-star rating for 5 hours daily.
First, we need to determine the power consumption of the AC unit. The power consumption of an AC is usually measured in Watts (W) or Kilowatts (kW). The power rating of the AC can be found on the manufacturer's label or in the user manual.
Let's assume the power consumption of the 1.5-ton split AC is approximately 1500 Watts or 1.5 kW (1 kilowatt = 1000 Watts).
Now, to calculate the energy consumption for 5 hours of daily usage:
Energy Consumption (in kilowatt-hours) = Power rating of AC (in kW) x Daily usage (in hours)
Energy Consumption = 1.5 kW x 5 hours = 7.5 kWh per day
Next, we need to consider the electricity rate charged by your utility company. Suppose your electricity rate is $0.15 per kilowatt-hour (which is a common rate in the United States).
Electricity Cost = Energy Consumption (in kilowatt-hours) x Electricity Rate (per kWh)
Electricity Cost = 7.5 kWh x $0.15/kWh = $1.125 per day
So, if you use a 1.5-ton split AC with a 3-star rating for 5 hours daily, the estimated electricity cost would be approximately $1.125 per day.
To find the monthly cost, you can multiply this daily cost by the number of days in a month or simply use the following formula:
Monthly Cost = Daily Cost x Number of Days Used in a Month
Keep in mind that this is an estimate, and the actual electricity bill may vary depending on your specific electricity rate and usage pattern. For a more accurate calculation, you should refer to your electricity bill, which provides detailed information about your usage and the corresponding charges.
