Energy rating (cooling): 3.5; Heating: 3
Annual electricity use: 1,719 kWh; 608 cooling + 1,111 heating
Estimated running cost: $550 / year; $46 / month · $5,501 over 10 years
Capacity: 8 kW cooling; 9.3 kW heating

6% less electricity than the median of 9 comparable 8 kW reverse cycle multi-split / vrf registrations (1,839 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 89% of them.

Across all 3,680 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 57% (this compares very different sizes, so the cohort figure above is the useful one).
