For me, this was the first year with AC and was curious to see how much energy I'd consume with it. It was a test and can honestly say, it is not bad at all. If you can find a way to use it wisely and not have it on 24/7 as some do, it's quite manageable.

Is it one of the modern ones with AI features? I recently got one and its default power draw is insane. Once I installed the Midea app I managed to pull it down to 35% of its original power usage and saved a ton of money. Electricity costs here are insane, so figuring out how to decrease the usage to about 300w really made dealing with the summer heat easier.
