The house stays at about 70F 24/7.
Right now, it's 30F outdoors and the Sanyo is using about 480 watts.
If it was 15 or 20F outdoors, it would be using more power, 600 to 800 watts.
The colder it gets, the more power is needed to extract heat from the extra cold air..
The chart seems to show that colder means using less power!
If it were true, then it would be cheaper to heat your home at when it was -12 deg outside!
