- 39.2 kW cooling
- 44.1 kW heating
12% less electricity than the median of 19 comparable 40 kW reverse cycle multi-split / vrf registrations (18,821 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 8% (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.
