Is it cheaper to run a 240 volt window air conditioner than a 120 volt widow air conditioner with same BTU?

Your electric bill is computed in kilowatt-hours. This is a measure of power over a period of time, which is a combination of volts and amps. Amperage at 240v would be half that of 120v, but obviously the voltage is double. So the net watts are the same. As a result, your net kilowatt-hours will be the same whether you use 120v or 240v.

∙ 15y agoNo, if you check the amperage of the 120 volt unit it will draw twice as much as the 240 volt one. Your power bill is based on watts. W = Amps x volts. Say the 240 volt A/C draws 6 amps, 6 x 240 = 1440 watts. Now the 120 volt A/C draws 12 amps, 12 x 120 = 1440 watts.

Will a 30 amp run an air conditioner and a microwave at the same time?
Probably not on the same circuit especially if your house is an older one. If they are on different circuits both should run okay.
What would happen to relative humidity in the room if the air conditioner turned on?
If the water vapor amount stayed the same, then the relative humidity would be greater.
Can a dryer not function because air conditioner is on?
The frist thing that comes to mind is maybe the same disconnect or the same two pole braker is being used to power both items. This should be easy to trace down if this is the case.
What is wrong when you switch from fan to air conditioner and it shuts the breaker in the electricity box?
You're actually OPENING the breaker. And it means you're drawing too much power. 1 air conditioner=about 10 box fans. Try unplugging things using the same circuit. An air conditioner draws a lot of juice. An A/C and a microwave, for example, are too much for most homes to handle. Your breaker box should (hopefully) tell you what breaker goes where.
Energy cost for compressed air?
About the same as for a window air conditioner.
What is the difference between a normal window air conditioner and a compact window air conditioner?
In winter season split AC is working better than window AC and the heating is not decrease like windpw AC the working system is the same but heating ability is not the same why?
Is the air conditioner is good for the environment?
No it's not ! It uses electricity to blow cooler air into a home - the same effect can be achieved by opening a window !
What is the biggest 110 volt window air conditioner?
15000btu is the largest and that's a 115 volt basically the same ,you just need a higher breaker is all

How does one clean a window air conditioner while in the window?
Remove the filter from the air conditioner, and clean it using soapy water. Then take the grille off the conditioner and clean inside with a medium bristled brush. Be careful not to damage the fins, and clean in the same direction that the fins run, not across them. One may then use a specialised mould cleaner to spray on the fins, and leave this for about 20 minutes before pouring warm water onto the fins. This should be done with caution as electricity and water can be fatal to both the machine and the person! Blot off excess water and wipe down the fins. Reassemble the air conditioner. If one can remove the base of the air conditioner, then do so and this can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.
Is it dangerous to put a air conditioner in a room with no windows what happens if you do does it work the same?
If you are running a window unit in a closed room, you will actually heat the room up. The unit needs to be able to "move" the heat to the outside air.
Can you put ice in front of air conditioner?
Yes you can put ice in front of your air conditioner. And as a matter of fact, for each ton of ice that you use up, you will have gotten a ton of cooling done. This is the origin of the term "Ton" as it is applied to cooling. A ton of cooling is 12,000 btuh. So if you use up a ton of ice per hour, it will give you the same cooling effect as a 12,000btuh window air conditioner!
