- 3
- Heating: 1.5
- Annual electricity use
- 7,362 kWh
- 768 cooling + 6,594 heating
- Estimated running cost
- $2,429 / year

- Capacity
- 13 kW cooling
- 15.5 kW heating
24% more electricity than the median of 81 comparable 12.5 kW reverse cycle split system registrations (5,949 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 4% of them.
Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 22% (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.
