Why Watt Usage Matters
Watt usage matters because your electricity company bills you for the number of kilowatts per hour of electricity you use. If your air conditioner starts using more watts, your electricity bill will go up. If you’re concerned about the size of your home’s carbon footprint, this is another reason why watt usage matters. Homes that use solar power and battery storage may also require careful monitoring of the watt usage of an air conditioner.
