Energy rating (cooling): 3.5; Heating: 2
Annual electricity use: 1,655 kWh; 529 cooling + 1,126 heating
Estimated running cost: $530 / year; $44 / month · $5,296 over 10 years
Capacity: 6.3 kW cooling; 7.3 kW heating

24% more 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 0% of them.

Across all 3,681 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 59% (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.
