I thought of that and Chillers tend to use pretty much the same amount of watts as a 5000BTU AC. 1/4 HP chiller runs from about 200 - 500 watts depending on the load, anything more than 1/4 HP and the watts increase.


The max amount of watts my AC can pull is 500. So it's about equal, as the AC doesnt run constantly. Plus getting a used AC for 20 bucks compared to paying $500-700$ for a chiller is a big savings
