6% more electricity than the median of 23 comparable 35 kW reverse cycle multi-split / vrf registrations (19,794 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 35% of them.

Across all 3,612 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 6% (this compares very different sizes, so the cohort figure above is the useful one).
