I don't disagree with you that the numbers may be off, but consider the fact that the compressors in an A/C unit don't have to work as hard if the heat exchange is more efficient. That's saving electricity from the cooling fan AND the compressor.

Furthermore, put a very large one in place of the fan in the A/C condensor and save more.
