- 1.5
- Heating: 1
- Annual electricity use
- 37,226 kWh
- 15,410 cooling + 21,816 heating
- Estimated running cost
- $11,912 / year
- $993 / month · $119,123 over 10 years
- Capacity
- 118.7 kW cooling
- 114.9 kW heating
43% 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 28% of them.
Across all 3,681 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 0% (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 | 64,765 | $20,725 | $207,248 |
| Mixed zone | 37,226 | $11,912 | $119,123 |
| Hot zone | 49,353 | $15,793 | $157,930 |
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.
