APAC S015OVR3SA / S015ILR1SA- is a 16 kW reverse cycle ducted split system heat pump registered for sale in New Zealand under the trans-Tasman E3 energy rating scheme (registration AAC7464).
- Energy rating (cooling)
- 1.5
- Heating: 1
- Annual electricity use
- 7,837 kWh
- 1,295 cooling + 6,542 heating
- Estimated running cost
- $2,586 / year
- $216 / month · $25,862 over 10 years
- Capacity
- 16 kW cooling
- 14.2 kW heating
1% less electricity than the median of 71 comparable 16 kW reverse cycle ducted split system registrations (7,959 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 66% of them.
Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 19% (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 cold zone (Canberra climate: Canberra, Hobart, Ballarat, alpine areas). All of New Zealand is the cold zone on the Zoned Energy Rating Label. Cost = kWh × 33c/kWh in NZD; change the price above to your tariff.
