Portacool Operational Cost
|
When we say, "Portacool products cool the temperature 20° or more all day long for only $1.00 or less per day (about 1/10th the cost of standard air-conditioning)," we really mean it! Based on a survey of 22 cities and towns across the United States and hundreds of our customers telling us the hours they most used their Portacool evaporative coolers, the average cost per day is only about $1.00 (based on an average 8-hour day)! Here's how to obtain the cost
to run your Portacool product unit all day: |
|
1. |
Call your local power company and get the price of a kilowatt hour (or check your last electric company bill). |
Example: 0.15739=1 kW hour |
| 2. |
Multiply by Portacool use at .76 kW/hr. |
0.15739 X 0.76 = 0.1196 |
| 3. |
Multiply times 8 hour day (average use) |
0.1196 X 8 hrs. = 0.9568 |
| 4. |
Call your local water company for water cost. |
Example: 2.57 = 1000 gallons |
| 5. |
Cost of 100 gallons = 0.137 |
0.257 X 10% = 0.0257 |
| 6. |
At 5 gallons per hour, multiply for 8 hours. |
0.0257 X 40% (40 gallons) = 0.0102 |
| 7. |
Total. |
0.9568 + 0.0102 = 0.967 or 97¢ |
