- Energy rating (cooling)
- 2.5
- Heating: 1.5
- Annual electricity use
- 4,974 kWh
- 593 cooling + 4,381 heating
- Estimated running cost
- $1,641 / year
- $137 / month · $16,414 over 10 years
- Capacity
- 10 kW cooling
- 11.5 kW heating
12% more electricity than the median of 127 comparable 10 kW reverse cycle split system registrations (4,446 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 14% of them.
Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 38% (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.
Hitachi running cost by climate zone
