I have a 5 ton 14 SEER central AC system cooling my 1 story reasonably well insulated 2,600sqft house. I’m trying to determine in the Houston summer how much power my ac draws per hour to see if my potential battery backup will be sufficient to keep the AC going overnight.
How much does an AC typically run (utilization) at night in a humid climate at a 77-78 temp setting 50%? 33%? I know the wattage of my AC is 4,2xx but that is on for the full hour.
I cant see back far enough on my power company to see where I was in term of hourly power draw in 2020. In July I pulled 1951kw in total (63kw a day).
appreciate any insight as this is the gating issue to determining battery sizing.
