Using the Fan-Only Mode significantly reduces energy usage to approximately 50 to 100 Watts, as only the internal blower motor is active.
To avoid tripping breakers, ensure the unit is on a dedicated 15-amp or 20-amp circuit, as the startup "surge" wattage can momentarily exceed the running rated power.

In Cooling Mode, this 14,000 BTU unit typically consumes approximately 1,250 to 1,350 Watts during active compressor operation.
When switched to Heating Mode, the power consumption remains similar, drawing about 1,100 to 1,300 Watts to run the heat pump cycle.
While in Dehumidifier Mode, the wattage fluctuates between 400 and 700 Watts depending on the ambient humidity levels and compressor cycling.
