    This document provides a rule of thumb calculation for estimating the electrical power needed for HVAC based on area, cooling capacity in tons, efficiency ratings, voltage, and electrical rate. It calculates the cooling load in tons, equivalent watt hours and kilowatt hours needed, watt hours per square foot, required amps, and estimated hourly cost based on inputs for a building area of 2,000 square feet to be cooled by a 6.7 ton system running at 110 volts with an electrical rate of $0.12 per kilowatt hour and other specified efficiency ratings.
