Energy rating (cooling): 1.5; Heating: 0
Annual electricity use: 4,657 kWh
Estimated running cost: $1,490 / year; $124 / month · $14,902 over 10 years
Capacity: 39.7 kW cooling; 37.7 kW heating

19% less electricity than the median of 13 comparable 40 kW reverse cycle ducted packaged registrations (5,740 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 77% of them.

Across all 3,680 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 19% (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.
