As summer temperatures climb across Europe, air conditioning units and portable cooling systems become essential for maintaining indoor comfort. However, running an AC unit for hours each day can significantly increase your electricity bills.
Most standard residential air conditioners consume between 1,000 to 2,000 watts depending on their cooling capacity (BTUs) and energy efficiency ratings. Knowing your daily and monthly cooling expenses helps you stay in control during peak summer months.
