The Samsung AR18BVHCMWKNXL consumes approximately 208.73 kWh/month, which would cost around 835 baht (~$24 USD/month) in Bangkok, based on average rates.

Minimum average

The Samsung AR18MVFHDWKNXL has a cooling capacity of 18,000 BTU/h (5.28 kW) and a power consumption of 1,700 W in cooling mode. (samsung.com)

To estimate monthly consumption, assuming 8 hours of daily use:

Daily consumption: 1,700 W × 8 hours = 13.6 kWh

Monthly consumption: 13.6 kWh × 30 days = 408 kWh

In Bangkok, with an average electricity rate of 4 baht per kWh, the estimated monthly cost would be:

408 kWh × 4 baht/kWh = 1,632 baht

Approximately $47 USD (assuming an exchange rate of 1 USD = 34.8 baht)

These calculations are estimates; actual consumption may vary depending on usage and specific conditions.

I have already posted on Residential Construction for expats in Thailand. Thanks

It's mainly visa advice, but not exclusively. It is also about the life of expatriates.

That's why my post has been approved. It's clearly visible in the main information of this group. But I don't want to enter into a debate. Thnx Garret

18,500BTU That's enough for me, thanks, I'll take a look at it.

@Rod ********

Okay, I'm just focusing on those three models. Thanks for info

@Leon ***

Yes, of course, I understand, although I will use the air conditioning 4 hours a day 4 days a week. Do you think I need 25KBTU for a 30 square meter garage?

@Leon ***

Yes. The budget I have is for those three models. The price of each one is similar

Excuse me, sir, an administrator has approved my post.

Why could it be?
