- Energy rating (cooling)
- 3
- Heating: 2
- Annual electricity use
- 1,225 kWh
- 145 cooling + 1,080 heating
- Estimated running cost
- $404 / year
- $34 / month · $4,043 over 10 years
- Capacity
- 2.5 kW cooling
- 3.2 kW heating
6% less electricity than the median of 10 comparable 2.5 kW reverse cycle ducted split system registrations (1,310 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 80% of them.
Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 85% (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.
