3% less electricity than the median of 8 comparable 6 kW cooling only split system registrations (288 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 63% of them.
Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 97% (this compares very different sizes, so the cohort figure above is the useful one).
