[LG Air Conditioner Power] How does monthly power consumption of air conditioner stand for daily hours of running?

Troubleshooting

Monthly power consumption of an inverter air conditioner is calculated based on complex criteria depending on specifications.

Cooling period is considered 4 months (June to September) by default, and power consumption is calculated for 941-hour’s running in such 4 months.
Simple calculation: 941 hours/4 months/30 days = 7.8 hours: Daily running hours
Please, however, note that outdoor temperature varies among the months, and morning and afternoon in such 941 hours of cooling mode.
(Distributed number of hours varies depending on outdoor temperature between 24℃(75.2°F) and 38℃(100.4°F).)
Power consumption of an air conditioner greatly varies depending on outdoor temperature.
The higher outdoor temperate rises, the more power is consumed, and the larger amount of power is billed.

Power bill of an air conditioner may greatly vary depending on the conditions listed below:

1. Outdoor temperature during air conditioner running: The higher outdoor temperature rises, the more power is consumed.

2. Basic power consumption (based on progressive tax rate): The higher basic power consumption increases, the more amount of power is billed due to progressive tax rate.

3. Power saving function of air conditioner: Power consumption is reduced when using power saving function in lieu of cooling mode.
(Please, however, note that cooling capacity may be reduced for lowering power consumption when using power saving function.)

4. Desired set temperature: The lower desired temperature is set, the longer and the more frequently the outdoor unit runs.
When elevating desired temperature, running hours of the outdoor unit are reduced, and power consumption is saved, accordingly.
