Electricity?

[BCCC]

Okay I have a question on Electricty...... Which cost more amps or volts? I am looking at an a/c unit that pulls 7.1amps and 115 volts and naother that pulls 5.6 amps and 230 volts

Volts don't cost anything! Amps are the measure of flow required to maintain your A/C unit, therefor you pay for amps, which are translated into watts.  Useally the higher the voltage input the more efficient, or less amps required.

Okay thats what I thought thanks a lot!!

  Electric bills are figured by kilo watts. Watts = volts X amps, so then you can figure out which unit is going to pull more juice, assuming that they are both the same size as far as BTUs are concerned.
