Electricity pricec/kWh

Energy rating (cooling): 1.5; Heating: 1
Annual electricity use: 19,551 kWh; 7,944 cooling + 11,607 heating
Estimated running cost: $6,256 / year; $521 / month · $62,563 over 10 years
Capacity: 61.1 kW cooling; 61.4 kW heating

1% more electricity than the median of 16 comparable 65 kW reverse cycle ducted packaged registrations (19,275 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 44% of them.

Across all 3,680 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 3% (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.
