Typical Electricity Costs. The town of Wellesley, Mass., has estimated the average cost of running central air conditioning in a typical home for six hours a day will use 900 kilowatt/hours (kWh) per month. At a cost of $0.134 per kWh, this amounts to $120.60 per month.A large 12,000 BTU air conditioner, like that in a window, running six hours each day will consume 270 kWh, at a cost of $36.26 per month. A smaller 6,500 BTU room air conditioner will consume 144 kWh at a cost of $19.34 per month. large 12,000 BTU air conditioner, like that in a window, running six hours each day will consume 270 kWh, at a cost of $36.26 per month.
For our example today, we will use Santa Clarita, California which would have an average cost per Kilowatt-Hour of 14.37 cents. Next, multiply the Kilowatt-Hours found in step 2 by this price to find out how much it costs to run your air conditioner for one hour..53 X 24 = $12.72. Cost per Month to Run Your Air Conditioner: $12.72 X 30 = $381.60. Using the multiplier for a 100 degree Santa Clarita summer again, we get: $381.60 X 0.4 = $152.64. Thatâs a $26.00 a month difference from our basic calculation, all by using actual data.
