Product Information

From what I understand I would need at least something that can handle 22 amps, 2540 Watts? Meaning a 15 amp circuit would be overwhelmed and even a 20 would be as well? I jest in my statement: that seems like a rather niche market. As a 30 amp circuit, to me is what my stove is on. Are there exceptions to this rule? Esp with newer air conditioners? As a layman I appreciate your blog and wonder why the manufacturers don’t list maximum amps needed instead of running amps.

You’re right, we don’t have adequate knowledge about these surge wattages/amps because manufacturers don’t really include them in the specification sheets. Hopefully this would change in the future. Portable air conditioners are a great way to keep your home cool and comfortable during hot summer months. They are easy to install, require minimal maintenance, and can be moved from room to room as needed. Portable air conditioners also provide more flexibility in cooling specific areas of the home without having to invest in an entire central air system. Whether you're looking for relief from the heat or just want added convenience, portable air conditioning is a smart choice for any homeowner. The best battery-powered unit – the Zero Breeze Mark 2 – can deliver 2,300 BTU of cooling power with just 24V electrical potential. The higher energy-efficiency device from Example 2 (12 EER) delivers 100% more cooling power than the 5,000 BTU device from Example 1 (10 EER). Can I run two 5000 btu 115v window air conditioner on a 15 Amp breaker or should I have them on separate amps? Also what type of extension cord would I use if I need to plug it into another outlet that is connected to a 20 Amp breaker? My room and my mom’s room power outlets share 15 Amp breaker. I can run an extension cold to the washer outlet in the bathroom that is on a 20 Amp breaker. I already know not go have my air unit on and the washer going at the same time. Thank you for the help. Oh, this is the air conditioners I’m going to be using Midea 5,000 BTU 115V Window Air Conditioner with Remote, White, MAW05R1WWT ReplyThe electrical current (measured in Amperes or ‘ amps‘ for short) needed to run an air conditioner is directly proportional to how much the AC unit will affect your electricity bill. I (in Amps) = Air conditioner capacity (BTU) / (EER x V (in Volts) Example 1: 5,000 BTU Window AC With EER 10 Example 3: 18,000 BTU unit draws a little less than 20 A. How To Calculate The Number Of Amps An Air Conditioner Needs? Hello Luke, two 5,000 BTU 115V window units running simultaneously will require about 1000W; that translates to about 10 amps. For that, a 15 amp breaker should be sufficient; you will only have problems with the startup voltage that can shoot the amps above 20 amps. The washer will require about 2000W; you have correctly figured out that it’s impossible to run the washer and window AC at the same time.

Let’s take a small 5,000 BTU unit with EER 10. We also know that the electrical potential in the outlet is 115V. Here is how we calculate the amps required to power the unit: Example: Some homeowners are interested in how many amps does a 5,000 BTU air conditioner use. Of course, you also have 6,000, 8,000, 12,000, 15,000, and 18,000 BTU devices that use more amps than 5,000 BTU units. That means it needs 27 amps to power the whole AC unit. That is, in comparison, higher amperage than it’s needed to power an 18,000 BTU portable air conditioner (about 13-19 amps). Advice On Buying Cost-Effective Air ConditionersEvaporative air coolers are a great alternative to traditional air conditioning systems and are becoming increasingly popular due to their energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Evaporative air coolers work by taking warm, dry air from the environment and passing it over a wet evaporator pad or ‘cooling media’. This process causes the air to become cooler and more humid, making it a comfortable and pleasant environment. Yes, 5 amp is a continuous draw. For batteries, that will be 5 amp-hours; that’s the more relevant information there. However, you need to take into account voltage as well. What really matters is watt-hours. Usually, you have 120V and 5 amps which equals 600 watts; hence 600 watt-hours. Batteries don’t run on 120V; instead, most of them run on 12V. To achieve 600W at 12V, you will need 50 amps; so the draw would be 500 amp-hours (instead of 5 amp-hours). Watt-hour draw, however, will be the same for 12V and 120V voltage. Reply For now, you could run both units on a 15 amp breaker. If you see that you have problems (which is rather unlikely given these are very small units), you still can connect two 15 amp breakers. Hope you find this helpful. Reply Let’s put those numbers in an air conditioner amperage chart: Air Conditioner Amperage Chart (From 5,000 BTU To 18,000 BTU)

Prem-I-Air 8000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner With Remote

From the table above, it’s evident that window and portable air conditioners can draw anywhere from 3.52 amps to almost 20 amps. We sell Wall Split Air Conditioners, Portable Air Conditioners, Evaporative Air Coolers and Ceiling Air Conditioners to suit your specific needs. Our range also includes units in different sizes, perfect for any space from a small bedroom to a large office. Plus, we offer a variety of colours to ensure your new unit matches your style seamlessly. Take a look at our range below. Table: How Many Amps Do Window, Portable, Mini-Split Air Conditioners Draw Air Conditioner Capacity Hi, I’m a mathematician so your formula 1 and 2 interests me. I wanted to suggest to use the multiplication symbol for multiplying and the divide symbol for dividing. 13,500 is not equal to 1500 divided by 9.The power of any electrical device is calculated by multiplying voltage with amperage. A great majority of AC units up to 15,000 BTU are powered by 115V voltage. Hence, if we know P (Power in Watts, which we have calculated with Equation 1), we can calculate how many amps an air conditioner needs by merging the two equations, as such: On the amperage chart above, we have charted the maximum estimated amps, an AC unit of 5,000 – 18,000 BTU is estimated to draw. The LG and Frigidaire units pretty much have the same energy efficiency (EER about 12 and about 830 max. wattage). That thing with amperage is a bit weird. 8 amps (Frigidaire unit) sounds pretty much OK for 115V. That LG’s 15 amp number is way off. Seems like a typo. Reply Ceiling cassette air conditioners are suitable for both commercial and residential settings. They are designed to fit into false ceilings and are ideal for saving floor and wall space. These air conditioners are often utilized in large open-plan areas, making them perfect for offices, open-plan houses, and other spacious areas that need air conditioning. In short, you always want to invest in an air conditioner with a higher EER rating. As we’ve seen by comparing Example 1 and Example 2, a higher EER rating can significantly reduce the electricity consumption of an air conditioner.
