For example, if you have an 18,000 BTU/hr AC that would be equivalent to 575 watts when operating at 100% efficiency. \r\rThis number does not take into account any type of inefficiencies and applies only to ideal conditions (wide-open doors and windows). Real-world energy use is usually double this number or higher.
