Energy rating (cooling): 2; Heating: 1.5
Annual electricity use: 4,897 kWh; 1,981 cooling + 2,916 heating
Estimated running cost: $1,567 / year; $131 / month · $15,670 over 10 years
Capacity: 17.8 kW cooling; 17.8 kW heating

12% less electricity than the median of 10 comparable 18 kW reverse cycle ducted packaged registrations (5,554 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 90% of them.

Across all 3,680 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 17% (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.
