Electricity pricec/kWh

Energy rating (cooling): 3.5; Heating: 3
Annual electricity use: 4,160 kWh; 1,476 cooling + 2,684 heating
Estimated running cost: $1,331 / year; $111 / month · $13,312 over 10 years
Capacity: 20 kW cooling; 23.5 kW heating

22% less electricity than the median of 36 comparable 20 kW reverse cycle multi-split / vrf registrations (5,323 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 78% of them.

Across all 3,680 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 21% (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.
