reference only — why?
This is the rated draw of the label you picked — a ceiling. Inverter mini-splits especially modulate below it in real use — same basis as the size page's pills. Weather, thermostat setting and insulation move the real number.Where do these numbers come from?
watts × hours × your rate. We estimate wattage from the label size you picked (portables run ~15% hungrier than their label suggests; mini-splits sip power thanks to inverters). Your electricity rate is printed on your monthly power bill as cents per kWh.
