3% less electricity than the median of 125 comparable 8 kW reverse cycle split system registrations (1,834 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 62% of them.
Across all 3,680 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 55% (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 | 3,414 | $1,092 | $10,925 |
| Mixed zone | 1,778 | $569 | $5,690 |
| Hot zone | 2,212 | $708 | $7,078 |
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.
