A Brazil starting scenario
0.150 kW is multiplied by scheduled time and the 35% active-runtime assumption. The inputs are examples, not claims about every device. Replace each one with the label, meter reading, schedule, and tariff that apply to you.
Monthly kWh = rated kW × 24 hours × days × compressor duty cycle150 W · 24 hours/day · 7 days/week · 35% active

The local calculation

Three checks for Brazil
Prefer annual energy consumption from the product label.
Increase duty cycle for hot rooms and poor condenser airflow.
Check seals and frost before projecting replacement savings.
