Watts= V X A (-PF) so when the volts go down the amps go up but with most inductive loads the wattage remains about the same.
Temp makes a compressor work harder = more amps.
When the volts go down, the amps go up so there is more copper losses and heat
Resistive loads like hot water heaters, toaster, the volts go down so does the amps and the wattage drops.
