A Math Problem for Electricians

[Dr.Destructo]

I am VERY bad at math.....especially anything over the basics.

I need help on finding out how much it will cost to run an AC unit per day.

Here is the info I got......

Power Supply 115 V
Cooling Watts 824 W
Rated Cooling Amps (AHAM) 7.3

9.5 cents per kwh
according to the info I got

5,000 BTU
Portable AC unit


Here is the product in question, as I couldn't get any answers from the company itself.

5,000 BTU ComfortSense 3-in-1 Portable Air Conditioner

The Midea 5,000 BTU ComfortSense portable air conditioner delivers fast, effective cooling for spaces up to 150 square feet while simultaneously providing fan and dehumidification functions in any home, bedroom, office, or cabin; creating a relaxing and comfortable environment.

• Convert the power usage to kilowatts
• Calculate the daily energy consumption
• Calculate the daily cost

The rough estimate using your parameters is about $1.88 / day, assuming it's running 24 hours each day.
