- 1.5
- Heating: 0
- Annual electricity use
- 4,371 kWh
- Estimated running cost
- $1,399 / year

- 31.1 kW heating
4% less electricity than the median of 12 comparable 35 kW reverse cycle ducted split system registrations (4,539 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 67% of them.
Across all 3,680 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 21% (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.
