Thanks for asking! In my setup, I will keep the temp at 67°F year-round, and my space is pretty well-insulated with 3 inches of closed cell spray foam on the walls and 4 inches on the ceiling, which helps a lot with efficiency. I figure it will cost me about $759 a year to run this MRCOOL 3-ton mini-split. Here’s how I came up with that: The unit uses about 2 kWh per hour of runtime with its 18 SEER rating, and I estimated it runs about 8 hours a day on average. That adds up to around 5,840 kWh a year, and at $0.13 per kWh for electricity, it comes out to $759. The insulation really helps keep costs down. Hope this helps, and feel free to ask if you’ve got more questions!"
