- 3.5
- Heating: 2.5
- Annual electricity use
- 2,666 kWh
- 1,003 cooling + 1,663 heating
- Estimated running cost
- $853 / year

- Capacity
- 12.9 kW cooling
- 13.3 kW heating
10% less electricity than the median of 76 comparable 12.5 kW reverse cycle split system registrations (2,979 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 79% of them.
Across all 3,681 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 40% (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.

| Climate zone | kWh / year | Per year | 10 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cold zone | 5,095 | $1,630 | $16,304 |
| Mixed zone | 2,666 | $853 | $8,531 |
| Hot zone | 3,103 | $993 | $9,930 |
At 32c/kWh. Formula: cost = annual kWh × price. The kWh figure is the label’s residential estimate for that zone; commercial-profile figures are in the specifications.
