Appliances with 5 star rating consume the least power. The cooler consumes up to 400 watts of power per hour.The AC will consume about 840 watts of electricity every hour.
New Delhi. The heat of summer is increasing. At many places the temperature is hovering above 50. Whether inside or outside, the body remains sweaty and the throat remains dry. Even the shade of a tree does not provide respite from the blazing heat. The fans have already succumbed to the heat. In such a situation, people run away and resort to AC and cooler. Here one gets relief from cold, but its expense becomes heavy on the pocket. A question arises in the minds of many people whether to get relief from the scorching heat, get an AC installed or buy an iron cooler. Which will consume less electricity and you will be able to save thousands every month. If you are also in this dilemma then let us clear all the confusion today.
We will tell you with a simple calculation that if you use a good, big and slightly old iron cooler, will it be economical or expensive as compared to AC. For this we will compare it with a 1.5 ton AC which will have a 5 star rating. It is believed that appliances with 5 star rating consume the least electricity. To compare the electricity bill, we have considered the average unit cost to be Rs 7.

How much electricity will the cooler consume daily?
Suppose you have an old iron cooler. According to the electrician, this cooler consumes up to 400 watts of electricity per hour. In this way, if you run the cooler for 12 hours a day, 4800 watts of electricity will be consumed. If it is a 1000 watt unit, your cooler will consume 4.8 units of electricity (average 5 units) every day. The total electricity consumption in the month will be 150 units.
How much electricity is consumed in AC?
You have installed a 1.5 ton AC, which is of five star rating. This AC will consume about 840 watts of electricity every hour. If it is run for 12 hours daily, it will consume 10,080 watts of electricity. If there is a unit of 1000 watts, then your daily electricity consumption will be around 10 units. This simply means that this AC will consume twice the electricity as compared to the cooler. In this way, the total electricity consumption in a month will be around 300 units.
What is the difference in monthly bill?
As we mentioned above, to compare the cost of both, we assume the price of unit electricity to be Rs 7. In this way, your electricity bill will be Rs 1,050 per month just by running the cooler. Whereas, if we talk about AC, its bill will be around Rs 2,100 every month. In this way, you can see that you can save Rs 1,050 every month in electricity bill by running a cooler as compared to AC.
