Does air conditioning use gas or electricity?

As a new homeowner, I am trying to understand my appliances better, and what is connected to what. Is my air conditioner using gas or electricity?

It’s always a good idea to understand how your home is working! In homes, the air conditioner uses electricity.
Since all home air conditioners use electricity to run, your power bill will reflect your A/C usage. Because of this, many people see higher electricity bills in the summer versus the winter as most heating systems use gas or oil.
If you’re concerned about higher electricity bills in the summer, consider looking into peak usage times in your area. By limiting the amount of power you’re using or even raising the temperature a degree or two, you can save a significant amount on your bills every month.
