How much does the GE AKCQ08AXXXA** cost to run?

About 15¢ an hour of cooling, or $37.05 for 30 days at 8 hours a day (less once the compressor cycles off).

DOE's record lists 850 W of electrical input while cooling. Electricity at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA Electric Power Monthly, table 5.6.A). Each 1¢/kWh you pay above or below 18.16¢ moves the 8 hour figure by 7¢.
