Yes that is true but even if you took 2 more hours per day in oven usage the added heat would be about 20,000 BTUs, a standard air conditioner with a COP of 3 will cost roughly 20 cents to remove that heat or depending on electric rate about $6 a month - equals about $25 month for running both the extra 2 hours a day.k0xxx said:It's not just the KWH for running the stove and oven, it's also the added BTU's of heat that the AC has to compensate for. The AC eats a lot of electricity.
