Climate zone

Electricity pricec/kWh

Energy rating (cooling): 3
Annual electricity use: 690 kWh
Estimated running cost: $221 / year; $18 / month · $2,208 over 10 years
Capacity: 8 kW cooling

1% less electricity than the median of 7 comparable 8 kW cooling only split system registrations (696 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 57% of them.

Across all 3,680 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 86% (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.
