- 5 kW cooling
- 5.3 kW heating
12% less electricity than the median of 38 comparable 5 kW reverse cycle ducted split system registrations (1,275 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 90% of them.
Across all 3,680 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 73% (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.
Toshiba running cost by climate zone

| Mixed zone | 1,127 | $361 | $3,606 |
| Hot zone | 1,278 | $409 | $4,090 |
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.
