About this estimate
Cooling kWh is estimated from system capacity, SEER2, operating schedule, typical load and electricity rate.
Actual bills vary with weather, insulation, thermostat settings, equipment sizing, installation quality, taxes and utility charges. EIA sector averages are statewide blended revenue-per-kWh benchmarks, so a commercial average may be lower than residential. Site-specific commercial demand, fixed and time-of-use charges require a utility plan or recent bill for a more accurate estimate.
