17% more electricity than the median of 122 comparable 10 kW reverse cycle split system registrations (2,236 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 7% of them.
Across all 3,680 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 41% (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.
Mitsubishi Electric PUZ-M100VKA-A running cost by climate zone
| Climate zone | kWh / year | Per year | 10 years |
|---|---|---|---|

| Mixed zone | 2,622 | $839 | $8,390 |
| Hot zone | 3,130 | $1,002 | $10,016 |
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.
