Electricity pricec/kWh

Energy rating (cooling): 1.5; Heating: 0
Annual electricity use: 5,432 kWh
Estimated running cost: $1,738 / year; $145 / month · $17,382 over 10 years
Capacity: 46.8 kW cooling; 45.9 kW heating

35% less electricity than the median of 24 comparable 50 kW reverse cycle ducted packaged registrations (8,422 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 92% of them.

Across all 3,680 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 16% (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.
