- Capacity
- 10 kW cooling
- 11.5 kW heating
9% more electricity than the median of 122 comparable 10 kW reverse cycle split system registrations (2,236 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 24% of them.
Across all 3,681 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 44% (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 | 5,125 | $1,640 | $16,400 |
| Mixed zone | 2,426 | $776 | $7,763 |
| Hot zone | 2,568 | $822 | $8,218 |
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.
