IThe air conditioner has a significant impact on the cost of the billmainly due to the recent increase in the price of electricity. In some regions, however, the cost of the air conditioner is higher due to the need to use the device for a longer number of hours. The new one sheds light on the differences in spending on air conditioners on a regional basis SOStariffe.it and Segugio.it Observatory.

Emilia-Romagna is the region where you spend the most for the air conditioner, Molise the one where the bill is lower

The survey shows how it is‘Emilia Romagna the region with the highest cost of the air conditioner bill. In fact, in this region there is an annual expenditure included between 154 euros and 124 euros. The first figure is related to the expenditure for a family in Greater Protection while the second to the expenditure for a family that has chosen the best offer on the Free Market.

The lowest bill expense is recorded in Molise. A Molise family must take into account an expense that is included between 72 euros and 58 euros depending on whether the active tariff is on the protected market or on the free market. As for the Italian averageon the other hand, the data collected by the Observatory confirm expenditure included between 79 euros and 98 euros.

The table below summarizes the results of the study:

1 Annual consumption data from Osservatorio SOStariffe.it and Segugio.it
2 Report “Temperature and Precipitation in the main cities” Istat
3 Report “Household energy consumption – Year 2021” Istat
4 Simulated consumption when using an A +++ energy class air conditioner
5 Expenditure estimated considering the July 2022 tariffs for Greater Protection and Free Market

The cost of electricity does not vary on a geographic or regional basis. As confirmed by the study, the hours of use of the air conditioner and, therefore, the expense in the bill vary. The different consumption habits are linked to the number of summer days recorded during the year.
