- Energy rating (cooling)
- 1.5
- Heating: 0.5
- Annual electricity use
- 2,324 kWh
- 328 cooling + 1,996 heating
- Estimated running cost
- $767 / year
- $64 / month · $7,669 over 10 years
- Capacity
- 3.9 kW cooling
- 3.6 kW heating
About the same electricity as the median of 15 comparable 3.5 kW reverse cycle window / wall registrations (2,316 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 13% of them.
Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 71% (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.
