- 1.5
- Heating: 1.5
- Annual electricity use
- 27,622 kWh
- 11,793 cooling + 15,829 heating
- Estimated running cost
- $8,839 / year
- $737 / month · $88,390 over 10 years
- Capacity
- 89.1 kW cooling
- 87 kW heating
6% more electricity than the median of 54 comparable 80 kW and above reverse cycle ducted packaged registrations (25,969 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 1% (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.
AIRSTAGE RAQ running cost by climate zone
| Climate zone | kWh / year | Per year | 10 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cold zone | 47,487 | $15,196 | $151,958 |
| Mixed zone | 27,622 | $8,839 | $88,390 |
| Hot zone | 37,585 | $12,027 | $120,272 |
At 32c/kWh. Formula: cost = annual kWh × price. The kWh figure is the label’s residential estimate for that zone; commercial-profile figures are in the specifications.
