2.Calculate Monthly Costs: Use this formula to estimate your monthly electricity usage: kW of AC × Daily running hours × 30 or 31 days = Units per month. Example explained below.
3.Choose Inverter Over Non-Inverter: Inverter ACs are more energy-efficient and save on electricity bills compared to Non-Inverter ACs.
4.Star Rating Matters: For 5-6 hours of daily use, go for a 3 Star AC. For 8-10 hours, invest in a 5 Star AC to save on electricity costs.

● AC’s power rating in kilowatts (KW).
● Daily running hours. ● The cost of 1 unit of electricity from your provider.
Formula:
kW of AC×Daily running hours×30 or 31 (days)=Units per monthtext{kW of AC} times text{Daily running hours} times 30 text{ or 31 (days)} = text{Units per month}kW of AC×Daily running hours×30 or 31 (days)=Units per month
Example: 1.5 kW AC running 8 hours daily at ₹6 per unit cost: 1.5×8×30=360 units per month1.5 times 8 times 30 = 360 text{ units per month}1.5×8×30=360 units per month 360 units×₹6=₹2,880360 text{ units} times ₹6 = ₹2,880360 units×₹6=₹2,880
