I’m trying to see if it is economical to run the ducted air conditioning overnight instead of two split systems.
Lets say a ducted air conditioning is about 22kw. Say it is used 9 hours a day (overnight usage), 91 days a year (half of winter and half of summer).
Smaller 4.2 kw system costs about $2000.00 to install. Say there are two bed rooms.
So the difference in kws = 22 – 4.2 x2 = 13.6kw
Cost savings per year = 13.6kw x $0.24 per hour x 9 hours x 91 days per year = $2680.00!
Installation cost can be recovered in just two days! Did I make a mistake with the calculation?
