2% more electricity than the median of 26 comparable 10 kW reverse cycle fixed registrations (4,539 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 42% of them.

Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 42% (this compares very different sizes, so the cohort figure above is the useful one).
