Is LG ThinQ app accurate about energy consumption and the KWh unit count

[@JoseCastro-to6rx]

I bought my Unit thanks to your reviews! I’ve been running it at 28c and it feels comfortable even when we’re at 42c outside. One thing that you can mention about the app is that you can see the energy consumption and go back by days, weeks and more.

[@TechGuyCharlie]

Oh, dude I'm so glad the reviews were helpful 😊

[@mukeshgoyal]

KZbin recommend me your video after a year.. Want to say thanks. You helped me to buy this ac as your videos consider real life scenarios and to the point. Last year I watched many of your videos and those assured me that this ac is worth buying. Forgot your channel name but it popped up today. Thanks again

[@TechGuyCharlie]

You are very welcome, so glad the videos are helpful 😊 and I have been hearing this exact same thing from my subscribers, that KZbin doesn't recommend my videos, its really sad because I put a lot of work into these and YT just doesn't recommend them, anyway I'm glad to see you back here 😊

[@mukeshgoyal]

@@TechGuyCharlie last year I bought one 4star split ac (non WiFi, basic version) This year itself my cousin bought one the same just 2021 model relying on my usage. And don't worry, you are doing great.. Keep posting nd you will definitely grow

[@TechGuyCharlie]

Thanks, bro! 😊 and how is your AC doing? This year I bought LGs hot and cold AC (non-WiFi) I can't wait to make videos about it, especially during winters.

[@mukeshgoyal]

@@TechGuyCharlie yes the idea during winter is great. I don't expect anybody will make as deatil video as yours on that topic. My AC is doing pretty fine.. I take unit reading daily in morning and it pretty consistent. I genrally switch on ac around 9 pm (I live in Delhi) And we switch it off 5am So for night time specific as I keep a check on that as well. it consumes around 5~6 unit with only one ac and fan in other room switched on. We run at 26 for whole night. With sometime at 24 for first 30 min or hr.

[@plerpity]

Thanks, just bought a new LG airconditioner and im a bit nervous about the electric bill. Im a bit at ease now knowing that the app is accurate.

[@irimiaflorian]

The app not have 80%, 60%, 40% energy saving like remote control. It have only Eco Mode. What is the difference and who is better remote settings or app settings? Thanks!

[@yogipao]

Hey Charlie, just wanted to thank you for uploading this kind of videos. After watching, I was able to decide what AC to buy and it was LG 2021 IPX model(Philippines model) and I must say, one of the best decision we have made. Good thing I saw this particular vid as I was doubting the app as well hahaha. Many thanks😊

[@TechGuyCharlie]

That sounds great!! I am so glad my videos are turning out to be helpful.😊

[@yogipao]

@@TechGuyCharlie by the way. Any tups on what would be the best start up temp for a hot summer? What I do is 20 degrees high fan for the first hour then turn it up to 25 mid fan.

[@ChoraNCRwaala]

So finally I can trust my app as I was skeptical if it's accurate or not. Thank you for making this video. Great work.

[@TechGuyCharlie]

Thank you so much and I believe it was you who requested a video on this topic? 😁 And same here, I always had a doubt on the app until I actually compared it with a stand alone meter, turns out it's accurate. 😊

[@ChoraNCRwaala]

@@TechGuyCharlie Yes I was the one requesting this video and you actually listened. Now all my doubts have been cleared. Thank you so much. 👌🏻🔥🤘🏻

[@ossy2k3]

Hey thanks for this. Super useful video and a big help

[@TechGuyCharlie]

Glad the video was helpful! 😊

[@YellowStriker9457]

Energy monitoring for my dryer shows a bar graph but no unit of measurement. Any idea why?

[@hallowjan]

Does energy control also effects ac cycling? So if i put it on 40% the ac will take longer cycles to cool?

[@Bodeaux26]

Hi. For May, the app says my Monthly Cumulative Usage is 118.5kWh and Operation time 18Day 15H 40M. Is the operation time equivalent to 447 hours and 40 minutes (18days x 24 hours= 432 + 15 = 447 hours?). If yes, the average hourly watt consumption for the month is 265 watts? Did I compute it correctly? It seems my computation for the hours is off. Thank you from the Philippines, appreciate your uploads.

[@VishalKumar-kr9me]

Will it keep calculating the energy consumption if It gets disconnected from the wifi. And I connect it after few days to check energy consumption?

[@TechGuyCharlie]

I think it needs to stay connected to WiFi to record the energy consumption data, I don't think the AC has any onboard storage to store the energy consumption data.

[@samuellevinuya4613]

Hello! I'm always monitoring the electric consumption of my ac on the lg thnq app. Some hours, it will just be blank (No consumption). why is that? And also, it seems like the temp showing on the app and the remote is different?

[@anuraggupta5742]

Amazing video Very well demonstrated

[@TechGuyCharlie]

Thank You! 😊

Where did you got that skin for your air conditioner ? Im loving my lg dual inverter too

[@TechGuyCharlie]

I bought the skin on Amazon, you've got lots of designs to choose from. 😊 Search for pvc vinyl sticker.

[@letdoit]

Hi, can u make a video about cool vs dry mode. Some KZbinr said can save up 50% but they didn’t show using power meter…

[@axetilen]

hello, I love your content. Is it possible that you can compare the temperature variation and the power consumption between an inverter and a non-inverter ACs of the same brand, same model at 6, 8 and 12 hours? Most people say the inverter only works of we run the AC for more than 8hrs and they also say it has less temperature variation => better for health Thank you. I know this is super hard

[@DeBruineVeeg]

Hello Charlie, I just got the LG PC12SK and downloaded the Thinq app. Adding the AC was easy however the option "energy monitoring" does not show in the app when pressing the 3 dots. Only Filter, diagnosis and settings. Is my model not compatible for this feature or did I do something wrong? Thanks for your video's!

[@allena.6711]

I think the energy monitoring is only available in Android devices.

[@DeBruineVeeg]

@@allena.6711 i am using an Android device. Thanks for the reply tho

[@GoldenEye0006]

Is it a multi split or single split? I'm not 100% sure but i think it's not possible on multi split system

[@gurvindersinghmann1650]

Hi... Plz share the link for sticker u used on ur AC facia Thanksss

[@TechGuyCharlie]

Hi, please check description, I've just added the purchase link. 😊

[@mukeshgoyal]

Hey bro I am planning to buy lg hot/cold ac 4star 1.5ton.. Any pros/cons or you have notice something which you want to highlight?

[@TechGuyCharlie]

Well, the biggest con is the remote does not have backlight, other than that I cant think of any, its a really good AC 😊

[@Adhil_.Muhammad]

Bro that 4.7 kWh is how many hours

[@mukeshgoyal]

Hey, I want to confirm one thing. How accurate is the lg ac remote while showing room temp? As you have other temperature measuring device, it will take only 10 sec for you to see the present room temp displayed in ac remote and the room. Temp as per measuring device. Thanks in advance.

[@TechGuyCharlie]

Hey, I just checked, both, my dedicated weather station and the LG remote show the exact same temperature. I'd say the thermometer on the remote is quite accurate. Hope this helps. 😊

[@mukeshgoyal]

@@TechGuyCharlie thank you so much.. Also thanks for quick response. And Its OK even if it varies a bit 1 ~2 degree than the dedicated device. But it's giving same reading is quite good. These r small things but do increase the trust on brand. Nd I keep sharing your ac videos.. Everyone find those so useful. I am going to do one test after your comment to keep this remote outside and to check what reading I can get. And you can run this test also if u feel interested and one more when you start your ac tomorrow and your room is warm. Because currently it will be 24~25 as you r using ur ac. But when u start ur ac the room temp should be quite higher around 30 degrees. I am skeptical that whenever I switch on ac it shows room temp 28~30 and then gradually reduces it. I thought they might have programmed it in a certain way that it always show around 30 and then gradually reduce it to set temperature. I don't have other means to test it. Now You confirmed it ans I got the idea to test this remote outside to see whether it will show 40ish temp as Delhi is too hot now a days. (obviously not going to keep it in direct sunlight)

[@TechGuyCharlie]

Anytime man! If you ever have any questions feel free to leave a comment! Get yourself the indoor/outdoor weather station, the one I use in my AC videos, its a little expensive but has been totally worth it! right now it's showing that it is 35.3 outside! quite warm indeed. It's pretty normal, if you buy a thermometer and keep it with your remote, both will show the exact same reading! of course, there can be a 1-2 degree difference but from what I've observed both show the exact same reading. I will make more videos on these ACs but have to find a balance between making other content too! like I had uploaded 3 AC videos in a row and people who watch phone videos started un-subscribing lol, that actually hurts the channel a lot and YT cuts down reach if people unsub like this!

[@mukeshgoyal]

@@TechGuyCharlie I understand that.. You have pretty much covered everything for those ac. And to grow the channel and to share the knowledge obviously you will make video on other content also and it's great thing. Its just the thing that you cover those aspect which r practical and not like others who just read the specification of ac listed on amazon page. Keep doing great work.. And leaving a comment for a question is what I just did. I want to get it checked. So I searched your channel. Open this particular video. (at first I thought to ask this on your latest video, but I then looked up for this specifically). And you replied too.

[@cooliipie]

That was super disappointed to find out that it can't turn on when you are home, and turn off when you are away using Google home routines...

[@allzzizzwellzz5841]

Is the 4.7kwh is 1 day usage or 1hour usage?

[@TechGuyCharlie]

About a days worth of usage, this is our living room AC, so its only on for a couple of hours. I guess might have only used it for about 4-5 hours on Monday when I was doing this test.

[@jeevaisrael8683]

please make a video of the new ac that is your wifi ac a full review in hot summer. how much energy it consumes in day time and also how long it takes to cool down from 34 or 33 room temp to 26 c in day time. and also use smart diagnostic tool to record the detailed function of the unit every five min. i bought an lg ac 1.5 ton 5 star after watching your video but i'm concerned about it's performance. thank u

Hey... my app updated and the energy monitoring is gone, is it for you too???
