Electricity pricec/kWh

Energy rating (cooling): 3; Heating: 2.5
Annual electricity use: 1,952 kWh; 790 cooling + 1,162 heating
Estimated running cost: $625 / year; $52 / month · $6,246 over 10 years
Capacity: 8.6 kW cooling; 8.7 kW heating

6% more electricity than the median of 125 comparable 8 kW reverse cycle split system registrations (1,834 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 37% of them.

Across all 3,681 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 51% (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.
