After a week of moving, I was able to
install a Total Energy Detective unit that monitors my electrical use
real time. I wanted to get a quick handle on what I could expect in
the way of power use for the news digs.
It took my AC 25 minutes to drop the
ambient temperature by 1.57 degrees in the condo. The power used was
about 1.5 kWh. Not the best performance I've seen, but I am in the
hottest portion of the year. I also plan to block the two large west
facing sliding glass window more effectively in the afternoon hours
when the sun is beating down.
