Climate zone

Electricity pricec/kWh

Energy rating (cooling): 4.5; Heating: 3
Annual electricity use: 1,000 kWh; 345 cooling + 655 heating
Estimated running cost: $320 / year; $27 / month · $3,200 over 10 years
Capacity: 5.2 kW cooling; 5.6 kW heating

8% less electricity than the median of 240 comparable 5 kW reverse cycle split system registrations (1,093 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 89% of them.

Across all 3,680 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 78% (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.

Gree running cost by climate zone
