Electricity pricec/kWh

Energy rating (cooling): 2.5; Heating: 2
Annual electricity use: 3,076 kWh; 1,256 cooling + 1,820 heating
Estimated running cost: $984 / year; $82 / month · $9,843 over 10 years
Capacity: 13 kW cooling; 12.8 kW heating

3% less electricity than the median of 140 comparable 12.5 kW reverse cycle ducted split system registrations (3,178 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 57% of them.

Across all 3,680 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 34% (this compares very different sizes, so the cohort figure above is the useful one).

Annual kWh is the government label figure for a residential user in the mixed zone (Richmond NSW climate: Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth). Mixed climate zone shown by default (Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth); switch to cold or hot. Cost = kWh × 32c/kWh in AUD; change the price above to your tariff.
