Yes, the more heat you want the A/C to remove the more energy it will use. While I'm sure there is a mathematical explanation, I'm no mathematician. Think of it like this. A car driven at a very slow speed will use very little energy to propel itself forward. To drive the car at high velocity requires much more energy. This concept also applies to your air conditioner.
Any Energy Star air conditioner will sip power, and have a positive effect on your electricity bill.
Yes but, hardly noticeable.
Yes. The compressor in the AC takes a great deal of power.
With the price of electricity high and expected to get much higher I do not use much electricity and waste even less
Using a fan instead of an air conditioner can help conserve energy because fans typically use less electricity to operate. Fans circulate air to create a breeze that can make you feel cooler, but they do not actually cool the air like an air conditioner does. This can help reduce the overall energy consumption of your home.
If your electricity bill is continuously too high, there are a number of things you can do to reduce the amount you will be having to pay each month. Around the house, one of the most simple things you can do during hot summer months is to close your window blinds when you are not home during the day. This will prevent a lot of heat from coming into your home and will reduce the overall temperature for when you return. You will not feel the need to blast the air conditioner as high and thus will consume less electricity. Another similar tip is to simply unplug appliances when you are not using them as they will generate heat even when not on. You can also use fans to assist the cool down of the air conditioner so that you are more comfortable in your home.
Because they are not high and they cost a lot of electricity
It is generally not recommended to leave windows open when using an air conditioner, as this allows cool air to escape and can make the unit less effective. Keeping windows closed helps the air conditioner maintain the desired temperature more efficiently.
Primarily sweat. Also : do less, sleep in the daytime, stay in the shade, sit on a block of ice, and the American favorite - get an air conditioner.
Less current, greater efficiency, reduced volt drop

sodium bromide can conduct electricity though not in high quantitiesAdded:So does potassium bromide, as all ionic salts do (more or less) 'in solutae'
