- Capacity
- 10.5 kW cooling
- 11.1 kW heating
3% less electricity than the median of 26 comparable 10 kW reverse cycle fixed registrations (4,539 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 58% of them.
Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 44% (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.
Hisense running cost by climate zone
| Climate zone | kWh / year | Per year | 10 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cold zone | 4,380 | $1,445 | $14,454 |
| Mixed zone | 2,278 | $752 | $7,517 |
| Hot zone | 2,812 | $928 | $9,280 |
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.
