I am going to try leaving it on for ~8+ hours today before I head to bed and see if the bedroom stays a bit cooler overnight.
I'm also curious about this as well. I don't have central air though, but wondering how much electricity I'm using by keeping the portable AC running... I have a weird nitpicky habit of keeping my electric/hydro bills as low as possible. Turning on the heat in the winter only when it becomes unbearably cold (almost to the point I can see my breath when I breathe lol)

I’m betting keeping an Undersized AC unit cranked all day will use more then your average winter heating. Probably by a fair amount.
