Honestly, never occurred to me to check xD
So, Friday and Saturday, I used more power than the days before that (didn't have AC set up yet), but since I have no concept on energy consumption, I don't know how significant the consumption is.
Yesterday (Saturday), I used 10.32kWh. Compared to the same day last year using 5.86kWh.
It has a 'projected cost' based on current usage, and is projected to be ~$25 bucks at my next billing.
Peak winter a few years ago has hit over 100 bucks for me before, which is what shocked me into going into extreme saving mode. My most expensive bill last year was well under 100.
So, I guess running the AC a few hours a day isn't TOO bad...?
EDIT: Oh, nevermind, I found a cost breakdown. Thursday (didn't take AC out of storage yet), I was charged about 70 cents worth of consumption. Saturday I was charged $1.18. So running the AC for about 5 hours compared to 0 hours "only" incurred a ~40-50 cent difference.
