In many states of the country, scorching heat has started. The mercury in Delhi NCR has crossed 40. In such a situation, it will be difficult to stay in the house without AC.

Here we will calculate the bill based on 3 stars and 5 star versions of 1.5 tonnes of AC. So that we can guess accurately.

How much the bill will increase by running any air conditioner depends on its electricity consumption.

If you want to apply a 1.5 tonne split AC with a 5 star rating, it consumes about 840 watts per hour (0.8kwh).

If you use AC for about 8 hours per day, your AC consumes 6.4 units of electricity a day.

If you have electricity rate of Rs 7.50 per unit, then the bill will come to Rs 48 per day and about Rs 1500 per month.

On the other hand, a 1.5 -ton AC with a 3 -star rating consumes 1104 watts (1.10 kwh) in an hour.
