Need Urgent help with my electricity consumption !...

[philipma1957]

Wow, it's explained the reason of your electricity bill
Your A/C is power hungry, 2600w

But I think you can share more info and we can help you in a better way to reduce your electricity consume

Is it necessary to turn on the A/C?
Most cases you can solve the problem with fans, good airflow and undervolt.

as replied above,

i just wanna find a way to exhaust some of the hot air out of the apartment, simply opening windows doesnt help much !...

Lets try a different way to explain this.

How many rooms do you have?

If you have a few rooms and not one room how easy is it to shut the one sure hot mining room off from the other rooms.

If you can keep the mining room disconnected from the rest of your place let us know.

If the mining room has two windows not on the same wall let us know.

when i go to bed at night i put the miners in the living room (where one of the ACs) but i turn it off to save power, and i kinda downclocked both rigs to prevent mem temps from exceeding 88-90c, is that safe ?

i admit i cant run 2x ACs 24x7 thats a dum idea !...

Now I have a better understanding about your situation.
It's hard to have rigs in same room you sleep, noise and heat are hell in the mid term, I used to have my rigs in my room, after a couple of days I had bad nights trying to sleep.

If you live in 1 bedroom and in a rental you don't have many choices, I know.
A simple way is to buying a desktop fan and put it behind the rig blowing hot air to the windows.
2 desktop fans and you can create airflow in your room, but noise and airflow constantly can be bad to sleep.

Trying to reduce the clocks and undervolting can be good too to reduce heat and eliminate the need of A/C.
You'll earn less coins, but will save tons in electricity.

I don't like the idea of turning off your rig to move everyday to the living room. It's bad in the long term.

$0.11 USD will be a very expensive electricity bill for you after Ethereum mining ends. There are no new coins, and low profit will probably discourage you from mining. With such conditions, it might be worth considering selling at least one mining farm.

as per nicehash profitability calculator and my real earnings currently its not the case

Hello

I felt Obligated for the community sake to keep you guys updated on my situation...

I got someone to check on the AC couple of days ago...

In my RENTAL appartment apparently they had a WEAK AC unit for the living area, as showed in the image posted (but no one suggested anything  ) that unit is having a Cooling Power of just 2800w

There was nothing wrong with the Multi SPlit Unit ACs except the one in my living room was REALLY weak for the living room area ! (can u see where am going ?...)

so my living area measured is 30m2

converting 2800w cooling power to BTU that AC has just under 10,000 BTU >>> https://www.unitconverters.net/power/watt-to-btu-it-hour.htm

https://www.unitconverters.net/power/btu-to-ton.htm
So thats LESS THAN 1 Tons for a 30m2 room with open kitchen ! (excluding storage area, mining heat and bathroom area not taken into consideration !)

My uncle has the same living area he went with 3 Tons AC unit while mine is less than 1 Tons !!

Finally I had to figure out how many tons id really need to simply keep my living area at nice 25c, apparently i need at least 1.5 Tons (excluding mining heat, bathrooms area and storage)
using this caltulator to find out >> https://www.calculator.net/btu-calculator.html

So thats 18,000 BTU

Apparently the appartment owner CHEAPED OUT LIKE FUCK ! by getting a cheap weak inneffective AC to cool a living area which is too big, as a result, the AC could never bring down the living area temp to 25c and as a result that AC COMPRESSOR was pretty much running 24/7 for over 2 months and hence the crazy high electric bill i got !

The repairs guy advised to set the temp on the AC to 28c (no mining) once i did that the AC was able to keep the room temp at 28 (lol) and the compressor went off and started saving power ! but by no means 28c is comfortable !

Even when set to 30c (with mining) the AC Comrpessor kept operating and never switches off because simply its never able to cool down the living area in order to go to power saving !...


Lesson Learned: while its NOT my mistake, and i DID NOT buy those ACs, one should NEVER cheap out on ACs and always get an AC that is AT LEAST able to cool down the AREA intended for while not overwhelming that ACs and saving on your energy cost...

this calculator helps you to choose the correct AC needed for the room size intended: https://www.calculator.net/btu-calculator.html

Only thing am trying to think of right now is: How much is 1000w of mining electricity consumption does it produce in terms of HEAT,

we learn something new everyday !...

watts as cooling measurement makes things confusing.

maybe there is a confusion error in installing that AC because of that 2800w/2600w label.

30m2 area can be cooled ideally by 2.5ton which is around 2600watts (electrical).
