about power consumption for Panasonic Inverter 1.0HP CS-S10SKH,
Cooling Capacity = 9,550 (2,860-11,200) Btu/h OR 2.80 (0.84-3.28) kW
EER = 12.6 Btu/hW
let say i use 12 hour per day, mean (2.80kw x 12 hour x 0.281 sen/kWh) x 30days = monthly power consumption fee is
RM283.25since i never use A/C before, actually how common an A/C can reach or keeping 9,550 Btu/h in all day, is that necessary?
if not necessary, how i estimate roughly power consumption a day if i try to reduce the Btu/h as low as possible?
i worry to have a surprise for the expensive monthly electric bill,
and about the maintenance, how long it need to be service, can i DIY myself, if can't, how much i need to pay for a service?

Thank a lot.
For that unit, the power consumption is : 760 (225-920)
what i found for my unit installed in small room ~100 sqft
the power consumption is around 250-300 after reached the pre-set temperature (26 deg C)
so for night time usage of ~8hrs
0.3 x 8 hour x RM 0.334 x 30 days = RM 24 per month.
maintenance, i found the blower gets really dirty..not sure why since the filter is not that dirty
just used a tooth brush to slowly scrub the blower and it's all good
