Yes, you do.

I know the basics of what they do. Heating the house has to
generate that heat. An AC just MOVES the heat.

---
And generates waste heat in the process. What, do you think you can
compress a gas until it turns into a liquid for free?
---

Any electricity used is due to inefficiency (like with a lightbulb).

---
No, the waste heat generated is due to the inefficiency of the
_process_. You really ought to stick with something you know
something about if you don't want to end up with egg on your face.
Oh, but wait... what would that be??? So far, all you seem to be
good at is creating confusion.

It certainly is stupid, and gas-guzzlers have nothing to do with it.
You're implying that because we have 200A services our (say)
refrigerators run less efficienly that yours do because you only
have 80 amp services? It's just the other way around moron.

Since your 80 amp services have smaller diameter cable in them than
our 200 amp services do, their higher resistance causes higher
losses due to increased power dissipation and heating of the cable.

Do the math.

If you can figure out how to, look at my headers and figure it out
