Electricity pricec/kWh

Energy rating (cooling): 4; Heating: 2.5
Annual electricity use: 2,126 kWh; 725 cooling + 1,401 heating
Estimated running cost: $680 / year; $57 / month · $6,803 over 10 years
Capacity: 10.5 kW cooling; 11 kW heating

12% less 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 88% of them.

Across all 3,681 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 49% (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.

Mdv running cost by climate zone
