Central AC systems cool entire buildings. Calculate the electricity costs of running central AC.
Central air conditioning typically uses 4000-6000W for the entire system. It cools multiple rooms through ductwork. In the Philippines, central AC is found in large homes, offices, and commercial buildings. Modern systems with zone control improve efficiency.
Central AC (5000W) vs Multiple split ACs (4000W total): Central AC uses 25% more energy but cools uniformly.
