- Energy rating (cooling)
- 1.5
- Heating: 0
- Annual electricity use
- 2,917 kWh
- Estimated running cost
- $963 / year
- $80 / month Β· $9,626 over 10 years
- Capacity
- 32.9 kW cooling
- 31.1 kW heating
3% less electricity than the median of 12 comparable 35 kW reverse cycle ducted split system registrations (3,000 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 67% of them.
Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 63% (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 Γ 33c/kWh in NZD; change the price above to your tariff.
