1% less electricity than the median of 8 comparable 5 kW reverse cycle fixed registrations (2,155 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 63% 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).
