- Energy rating (cooling)
- 3
- Heating: 2
- Annual electricity use
- 2,153 kWh
- 252 cooling + 1,901 heating
- Estimated running cost
- $710 / year
- $59 / month · $7,105 over 10 years
- Capacity
- 4.5 kW cooling
- 5.4 kW heating
About the same electricity as the median of 236 comparable 5 kW reverse cycle split system registrations (2,154 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 50% of them.
Across all 3,612 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 74% (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.
Daikin RXM45YFVMA running cost by climate zone
| Climate zone | kWh / year | Per year | 10 years |
|---|---|---|---|

| Mixed zone | 1,111 | $367 | $3,666 |
| Hot zone | 1,246 | $411 | $4,112 |
At 33c/kWh. Formula: cost = annual kWh × price. The kWh figure is the label’s residential estimate for that zone; commercial-profile figures are in the specifications.
