What’s your AC runtime per day the last few days?
Posted on 8/13/26 at 10:28 pm

I’m up to right under 11 hours a day but I’m usually at around 9 hours a day. This daily near 100° highs has to end soon!

1 window unit on dehumidifier setting.
I am not paying to A/C a 5 BR 2500 sq. ft. house when I am only in one room. No one else lives here, including me out and about 9-12 days/month.
My bill is less than $75/month.

Probably like 20. I live in a house built in 1961 and I like it cold in here.
Thermostat flips to 68 at like 5 pm, then 72 at 5 am. It kicks off at probably 3-4 am and is off and on or rests probably till about 9-10 am before clocking back in.

I have a basic thermostat. Set at 74 24/7 while in AC mode.

Wait till this weekend and all next week... High 90's is the forecast...

My Nest says it’s been running 19 hrs a day. Monster electric bill.

Downstairs 1 68°: H 9.3h L 8.1h avg 8.7h
Downstairs 2 70°: H 10.3h L 7.9h avg 9.3h
Upstairs 68°: H 12.6h L 9.4h avg 10.5h
My wife keeps the house cold. My electric bill has only been around $300 so I can't complain.

You have three ac units each running nearly 9/10 hours a day and your bill is only $300 a month?
I don’t believe that.

Between 11-14 per day per Nest

My electric bill is poised to be double from last month but NF’s given because I can’t sleep worth a crap unless temp is low 70’s.

Unless ecobee has the hours wrong. My house pulls 62 amps with all 3 units running and it is like $0.12 per kwh. I could do the math if you want. To be fair, that was the weekly average not the previous Entergy billing cycle running average.

Two assumptions:
1. current draw is equal on each unit (given run times are close, this makes only a small difference)
2. All 3 units are 240v; this could make a much larger difference if 1 or more are 120v
Given your run times listed, you average 9.5 hours per day per unit:
62A @ nominal 240v equals 14,880W, so 14.88 kWh per hour of run time for all three.
14.88 kWh * 9.5 hours per day * 30 days in a month = 4240.8 kWh per 30 day month.
4240.8 kWh * .12 dollars per kWh = $508.90

Lets hope it isn't this hot for an entire month so I never see a bill that high.

I have it set to 75 and it runs 24/7
There’s no point in setting in any cooler than 75 because it’s never gonna get there

I’m not going to put what I keep mine set on because I don’t wanna get downvoted into oblivion.
I have the original AC on a house that’s 24 years old. If I kept it cold, like y’all, it would never shut off.
