About the estimates
Where do the appliance figures come from?
For air conditioners and refrigerators, from the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) star-label tables. For everything else, from typical ratings, which you should change to the watts printed on your appliance’s rating plate.
Why does one appliance “add” more than its units times the average rate?
Because the last units you use are charged at your highest slab. Removing an appliance takes those expensive units off first, so “Adds to bill” uses your marginal rate, not the average.
How is an AC’s use worked out?
Its cooling capacity (1 ton is 3.517 kW of cooling) divided by its ISEER, the efficiency figure BEE uses for star ratings. We take the low edge of the star band, so the estimate is on the high side. If you enter the units a year from the AC’s star label, we divide that by 1,600 hours instead.
How is a refrigerator’s use worked out?
From BEE’s maximum yearly energy use for its type, size and star rating (the table in force from 2026), spread evenly over the year. A refrigerator runs all day, so there is no hours field.

Sources for the appliance figures
- Room air conditioners: BEE star-rating ISEER bands in force from 1 January 2026, split (Table 3.2(g), to 31 December 2027) and window (Table 3.1(g), to 31 December 2029), S.O. 2794(E) of 16 July 2024 as amended by S.O. 3984(E). Notification. The bands moved up one step in 2026, so an AC bought before 2026 matches the next star down.
- The 1,600 cooling hours a year used to turn the label figure into units per hour is from BEE’s AC notification, S.O. 2528(E): “the operating hours shall be 1600 cooling hours per annum”.
- Refrigerators: BEE maximum annual energy use by type, total volume and star rating, valid 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2028 (S.O. 4490(E), 11 October 2024). Notification. A refrigerator bought before 2026 matches the next star down.
- Other appliances: typical ratings, shown next to each row so you can replace them with your own appliance’s figure. BEE does not publish a single usage figure for these. Appliance cost guides.
