is it about there?

3 star only panasonic

if use 8 hours , about rm2.15 (rm64.50 a month)

The base electricity tariff for Peninsular Malaysia will increase from 39.95 sen per kWh to 45.62 sen per kWh, starting July 1, 2025

0.5kwh 2hp aircond? too low and too good to be true lolz

2hp if operating at 100% capacity, should be consuming like 1.5 kwh.

Can recommend which ac to buy for 1.5 inverter??
I feel my ac taking too much electricity, current ac1.5 non inverter , 3 hours usage a day taking 6-7 kWh per day. If change to inverter how much would I save???

solar still so expensive, DC's use up all the power, normal citizens pay for their progress

If pigeon sized room then yes.
If living room with big window
Will cost you at least rm1 per hour
Consumption is 4kw per hour.
Duty 50%

Dear ts,

Please use standard units, kwh

27 sen per hour at which tarif?
Your tnb or sesco or sesb or others

only if you set at 29C

Standard unit should be kWh?

i give u real example. my tenants' house, i changed 2 inverter 1hp airconds.

previous bill rm500-590 average. now rm300-330 average

each aircond saved about rm100-120. one year each aircond saved rm1200-1400 in electric bills. crazy right?

3 star 2hp AC usually use around 1.6 kilowatts for full blast whether inverter or not. So just calculate it by multiplying the electrical tariff per kWh to the 1.6

The thing about inverter saving electricity is only if your room has good insulation that it won't run at max 100% cooling capacity, like if it runs at 60-70% power. If your room's insulation isn't good or you undersize your AC, the AC will run at max power so the difference vs non-inverter AC will be slight. Inverter AC is still better though, since you can't get more than 3 star non-inverter AC (panasonic 1.5hp uses 1070 watts) while inverter AC is rated up to 5 stars here (panasonic 5 star 1.5hp uses 950 watts while having 500btu/h more or 4% more cooling power).

Are you using 2 non-inverter AC? Mine I currently use daikin 5 star inverter 2.5hp, turns on 6-10 hours a day at hottest noon time, usually runs me 8 - 12kWh a day depending on weather, sunny it uses more, rain it uses less. My ac is capped at 70% cooling capacity because the lowest fan speed is pretty strong already.

Yes if for bedroom when on overnight

Best savings: Panasonic (must get 5 star model)

4 star model from any maker, cut cost, not much savings

Your tenants house previous ac also was 1hp??

No just using 1 non inverter ac. Wow 2.5hp and use ac 6-10 hours usage almost like my 1.5 but only use for 3 hours per day…

I see Panasonic have few series of AC but they don’t give much details what’s the difference between each series. Just buy any one as long as got 5 star rating should be good???

yes previous is 1hp non inverter. old aircond. like 8 yrs old maybe

I need to upgrade from 1.5->2hp aircond because it's not cold during hot weather...

Any idea how much more I have to pay for electricity usage?

kinda impossible 1.5hp ac uses 6-7kWh in ~3 hours. It should be using 1.1 to 1.2 kW max so in 3 hours it's like 3-3.5kWh. Maybe something else drains your electricity

hp is not that good for indicating aircond performance actually, need to look at btu/h and power consumption. For example, 2.5hp cooling performance is actually double of 1.5hp lel.

1.5hp to 2hp is around 50% more cooling and also 50% more power consumption.

But is your aircond not cold even when new last time? Sounds like undersized AC, should try some of those daikin or panasonic malaysia website's heat load calculator.

Dumb dumb gov no give incentive for insulation. Instead they opted for electricity subsidy.

That’s why you guys complain about expensive AC electricity bill.

Yup, it's about right.

My house use 3 AC (one 1.5hp and two 1hp). Hefty monthly bills. First inverter AC comes out, changed all 3. Now had been running 9pm to 6am on daily basis. My electric bills rarely exceed RM380.
