How to replace this preset
The refrigerator preset is 150 W for 8 hours per day, or 1.2 kWh per day. Replace both values with the nameplate rating and your observed runtime. Average compressor runtime is lower than 24 hours of nameplate power. A refrigerator, fan, or inverter air conditioner may cycle, so a plug-in energy meter is better than assuming the nameplate runs continuously.
Why the estimate changes
Your bill may differ because of slab tariffs, fixed charges, seasonal use, thermostat cycling, standby draw, and the difference between rated and actual power. Use the result to compare scenarios, not as a utility-bill prediction.
