- Annual electricity use
- 212 kWh
- Estimated running cost
- $68 / year
- $6 / month · $678 over 10 years
- Capacity
- 1.6 kW cooling
1% less electricity than the median of 21 comparable 2 kW cooling only window / wall registrations (214 kWh a year) in the mixed zone. Uses less than 67% of them.
Across all 3,680 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 99% (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.
