Hello my son is thinking about buying this type of air conditioner, and is wondering about how much electric it will use, such as will it greatly increase his bill null

Question

The unit draws about 1000 watts or 1 kilowatt. You will be using 1 kilowatt-hour for every hour that unit is running. So if your son lives in an area where the electric rate is 10 cents per kilowatt-hour, then the unit will cost about 10 cents an hour to run.

I would say it's about the same as running a fan. We've bought two of these and our bill did not increase much. Give or take about $10 depending how often and how long you run it.
