Climate zone

Electricity pricec/kWh

Energy rating (cooling): 2.5; Heating: 2.5
Annual electricity use: 3,148 kWh; 1,241 cooling + 1,907 heating
Estimated running cost: $1,007 / year; $84 / month · $10,074 over 10 years
Capacity: 12.5 kW cooling; 14 kW heating

1% less electricity than the median of 140 comparable 12.5 kW reverse cycle ducted split system registrations (3,178 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 52% of them.

Across all 3,680 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 34% (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.

Cold zone (Canberra, Hobart, Ballarat, alpine areas)	6,038	$161	$1,932	$9,661	$19,322
Mixed zone (Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth)	3,148	$84	$1,007	$5,037	$10,074
Hot zone (Brisbane, Darwin, Cairns, Townsville)	3,794	$101	$1,214	$6,070	$12,141

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.
