How much is my aircon going to cost me?

[dick dasterdly]

In short - the OP has to wait to find out how much it will cost!

[Naam]

i can't count the times i have sworn all holy oaths during the last eleven years not to click on any "aircon" thread. but then i think of those members who look for an honest advice and i can't refrain even though some of the most ignorant comments and sometimes even blatant lies make my blood boil and switch my pacemaker into turbo mode. oh well...

Does anyone use generators? And if so can they recommend any good ones? I have no knowledge of what companies make good generators but am looking at getting one in case of blackouts.

Will you want it to run your aircon?

 

Yes, we have a small genset, but you're probably best starting a new thread, actually, no "probably" about it, please start a new thread :)

Let's face it, he gave us almost zero information to go on.

Maybe ill just go and ask the shop if the forum, which I assume people use to help each other out, is as pedantic as that lol.

For some strange reason people seem to object to paying money to stay cool and comfortable, if you live in a hot country its part and parcel of living there - in comfort.

If folks move to a cold country do  they then start to question the cost of heating?

OK, up to you, but you'll find the electrical forum very helpful to those who remain on-topic :)

 

Come on in, the aircon's lovely :)

but, ye gots to admit that the lack of info generated some interesting comments resulting from speculation regarding the operating conditions...very interesting monthly expense info, etc...

 

these AC load/expense threads are usually very informative even when folks ask dumb questions as AC power consumption is usually the largest component of the monthly bill...in my pensioner reduced circumstances soon it shall be a trade off between how much vodka I can drink and being able to sleep comfortably under 'my blankey' at night...

I need to find a place that doesn't charge 8abht a unit lol

 

The aircon thing causes friction between me and my gf..

She turns it on.. i turn it off.. she turns it on.. i turn it off.. 

I hide the handset and she gets moody. And she is coming over to stay less and less now

I was going to say something sarcastic but it's uncalled for and unnecessary so I wont bother.

Wondering if the op could get one of the many versions of the cent-a-meter.

Input the 8 baht/unit rate and keep and check actual cost whenever.

I think there are also plug-in versions.
