- 6 kW cooling
- 7.5 kW heating
2% less electricity than the median of 104 comparable 6 kW reverse cycle split system registrations (1,340 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 63% of them.
Across all 3,680 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 68% (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.
Hitachi running cost by climate zone
| Climate zone | kWh / year | Per year | 10 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cold zone | 2,775 | $888 | $8,880 |
| Mixed zone | 1,315 | $421 | $4,208 |
| Hot zone | 1,384 | $443 | $4,429 |
At 32c/kWh. Formula: cost = annual kWh × price. The kWh figure is the label’s residential estimate for that zone; commercial-profile figures are in the specifications.
