Electricity pricec/kWh

Energy rating (cooling): 2; Heating: 1.5
Annual electricity use: 2,999 kWh; 1,072 cooling + 1,927 heating
Estimated running cost: $960 / year; $80 / month · $9,597 over 10 years
Capacity: 9.5 kW cooling; 10.8 kW heating

24% more electricity than the median of 129 comparable 10 kW reverse cycle ducted split system registrations (2,429 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 5% of them.

Across all 3,681 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 36% (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.
