Bought in last Nov, installed in Dec 2012. First real use in April 2013. Electric bill arrived on last week of May and was unbelievable. Two 1.5 Ton acs, one 8 hours of operation and the other 12 hours on a daily basis along with refrigerator, washing machine, microwave, pc, audio systems, tvs and all. Total bill payable INR 1330.
Hence refrained to post until now. Waiting for May 2013 electric bill.

Electric companies charge same rate even in rural areas. They only charge less for BPL families which are quite less. I mean look at the bill. Their definition of BPL = less than 50 units a month.Either he stays in a rural area / village far away from urban providers or he has his figures wrong
Well the electric bill is too low considering your consumption pattern.
Well the electric bill is too low considering your consumption pattern…... I guess you need to see if your meter is working fine or get it replaced or one fine day the electric company may realize this and then send you a random bill. Do reconfirm and let us know.
20 hours (8 hours + 12 hours) x 30 days = 600 hours. 103 units / 600 = ~172W per hour. Now IIRC, below 300W the AH-XP18MV's compressor is off, so basically your AC isn't working?Therefore approximate consumption of both ACs = 103

Ah I get it now. At nights the ambient temperature is less than 29C, so your AC does not need to turn on. You could save even more power just using a ceiling fan.Mind you both ACs run a 29 ~ 28 degree centigrade since they are somewhat bigger for the rooms.

Dehumidification doesn't work with the compressor off.Yes ceiling fan will save more energy but it will not do dehumidification.
