11% less electricity than the median of 30 comparable 35 kW reverse cycle ducted packaged registrations (3,122 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 77% of them.

Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 65% (this compares very different sizes, so the cohort figure above is the useful one).
