Is it true that 110 VAC air conditioners waste more electricity than a 220
VAC unit?
Thanks in advance
Yes - assuming everything else is equal, the 110VAC unit has
approximately double the current flow and thus a greater heat loss in
the wiring.
Turtle is right again.
Buy the highest EER unit you can afford. There will be no
measurable difference in electricity use just because it is 220.
