How long does an AC relay last?
The life of the compressor relay is measured in cycles, not miles – in other words, how many times it is turned on and off. Most are rated for about 50,000 cycles. For the typical driver, this usually translates to about ten years’ worth of driving.
Is it necessary to switch off AC from main switch?
Many a time we think that switching off the Television/AC from remote, or just turning the power button off for an appliance makes sure that it is not consuming any electricity. But the fact is that the appliance continues to consume electricity till the plug point is not switched off.

Now to answer your question it will not consume any electricity as you switched it off from the remote. But it will have a chance to damage your AC in case of sudden faults from the supply.
