skippybangkok Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Daikin Urusara 7. aircon claim Power Consumption W 430 (110-880) Estimated Electricity Charge * Baht/yr 3,816.15 based on 8 hour per day.... Thats like 300 baht per month ....... sounds too good to be true. I have a built in system mainly use living room about 4 hours a day, and bedroom 8 hours = 6000 baht a month any experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I assume this is the 9,000 BTU version. If the room is about 15m2 then the figures work. 110-880W is a big range. At 110W and 30% then its 963 units per year = 3,900 Baht per year. At 880W and 30% then its 7,708 units per year = 31, 606 Baht per year. Scary eh?

Crossy Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 The unit is question is an inverter, so variable power consumption from 110-880W. Not sure how to work out the average power consumption other than use the same techniques as for a standard unit. i.e 30% duty cycle at full power, 8 hours per day. Which comes out at 31,000 Baht per year (2,500 per month). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naam Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 there are lies, goddàmn lies, statistics, the claims of marketing people and sometimes the fairy tales from TV-forum members (since we are running our new quiet inverter aircon the Mrs. demands more sex, the dogs stopped salivating and the PEA sends every month a refund of 2,000 Baht) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippybangkok Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 lol - we generally set the air for 27 Deg C when we sleep + a fan , as assume it will be on the lower wattage side if not peak summer.

Naam Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) yeah right, tell me about it lived 15 years in the U.S., built 2 homes for us and 2 for friends. matchtstick wooden roof structure, plywood and asphalt shingles to be replaced after 15 years, out side walls concrete blocks without any insulation available. compare the afore-mentioned with my "crap" (Qcon blocks, steel roof structure and concrete tiles) in Thailand and weep!

skippybangkok Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 weird, mud slinging over Aircons, I guess we all can find something to fight over :) anyway - thanks for your replies, currently looking at models for aircons, Daikin quite pricey Agree with Naam about houses, in Oz they are wooden frame and quite flimsy compared to my house here.
