1% more electricity than the median of 10 comparable 7 kW reverse cycle fixed registrations (1,661 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 30% of them.

Across all 3,680 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 58% (this compares very different sizes, so the cohort figure above is the useful one).
