Quick Answer
Night mini split use is commonly 300-900 W, with about 2-6 kWh/night.
Detailed Explanation
Lower outdoor temperature and steady inverter modulation usually reduce overnight power draw. See How Many Watts Does a Mini Split Use Per Day and How to Calculate Electricity Bill from kWh.
Watt Table
| Night Condition | Running Watts | kWh/night |
|---|---|---|
| Mild | 300 - 550 W | 2 - 3.5 |
| Warm humid | 500 - 750 W | 3 - 4.8 |
| Hot urban | 700 - 900 W | 4.5 - 6 |
Calculation Example
650 W x 5 h/night = 3.25 kWh/night.
