And yet, after all the above, the biggest chunk of our electric bill is taken up by the centralized A/C.

wow! mura pala ang electricity sa US!!!???

P1,500 - 2,000.00: aside from ref. 1-2 electric fans and TV lang for the kids and kasambahay during the day. we use 4 hours a/c (1HP) at night. sama-sama lang kami with our 3 kids sa 1 room. once a week lang ang plantsa. 2x a week ang washing machine. kailangang magtipid.

Kami 3.5k ngayong summer:

2 ACs (1HP) ave 8hrs daily.
1 ref
3 TVs
2 laptops
sometimes: microwave, oven toaster, electric fans, washing machine, flat iron.

Sa parent's house (kami rin kasi nagbabayad) 5k ngayong summer (last summer 11-12k).
3 AC (2HP, 1.5HP, 1HP)
5 TVs
1 PC
1 no-frost ref.
+ the usual microwave, oven toaster, electric fans, washing machine, flat iron.

Some stuff that helped bring it down vs last summer:
a. replaced the no-frost ref, with a regular ref.
b. replaced one of the manual 2HP A/Cs with a temp controlled 1HP AC.

Yes, it seems it would still be. 3 fans should be around 90-180watts, depending on the fan model and air speed selected. A 1.5HP aircon is rated around 1,118watts, but at times patay naman yung compressor (depending din sa cooling setting), so not all the time yun yung power consumed. Just for comparison, lets say 1/4 of the time lang sumisindi yung compressor ng A/C, then roughly average of 280watts pa rin yung A/C.
