When I'm out of of the DR, I'll shutdown almost everyting. I'm out couple of months, that will explain the difference. I have al small freezer inside refrigerator which is also cleaned and dicsonnected not a separate freezer.

The trick is to keep the freezer and refrigerator as full as possible. Anytime you have a lot of empty space in them, you increase your consumption. How many times have you opened yours, and hear the compressor start running?
Mine are full of bottles of water. I take them out as needed to put things in.
That's one of the reasons my bill is low. All of my light bulbs are soft white LEDs.
I also have a timer on my water heater, only use one A/C at a time, one light at a time, wait until I have a full load to wash, etc.
The little things add up.
Gee that is very high... Especially in the second and third tiers.. Higher than in GA per KWH.
No wonder poor people cannot afford... Also, many that I know have NO refrigerator...
I find that hard to understand.
Maria was talking about her inverter with batteries. I kinda confused everyone with my comment about Inverter A/C units.
If you're asking about SEER numbers you're asking about the efficiency of an Inverter A/C unit.
House inverters with batteries do not have a SEER number.
Since this thread is about Air conditioners, I won't write anything more about house inverters.
I have mine on the ledge between the first and second floor. It puts them about 12 feet up. As far as I know there has been no attwmpts to steal them. It is a walled yard with good neighbours next door.
Are each of these units (that are in 3 locations in the house) controlled by 3 smart apps or can you put 3 inside units on one larger sized outside unit? Second question... are the split units for the inside only compatible with the same brand outside unit? Are there any advantages to do something like that?
All of the compressors I've seen have bases with holes in them so they can be bolted to whatever they are on. When mine were installed they put a bolt in each corner, and I covered the nuts with grease. Even so, they are a rusted clump so they're going to be a little harder to remove, but they have always come off in the past. I think a thief would see those bolts and go on to the next one.
I've always seen each unit with its own matching compressor. I'm guessing that any good A/C guy could get mismatched units to work, but I would not go that route. Can't tell you about smart apps because I've never used them.
I also think there is such a thing as a master compressor with more than one indoor unit, but I've never seen one that I know of.
We have two 12 000 BTU mini splits, two computers, three fans, TV, fridge, lights, hot water tank, security system plus cameras, inversor with two batteries and our electrical is between 2000 and 2500 per month. AC is only on , normally from say 8 pm to 6 am.
What temperature is your A/C set at? Mine is at 80 which may seem high, but walk into my place from outside and you immediately feel the coolness.
