- Energy rating (cooling)
- 3
- Heating: 2
- Annual electricity use
- 5,334 kWh
- 614 cooling + 4,720 heating
- Estimated running cost
- $1,760 / year
- $147 / month · $17,602 over 10 years
- Capacity
- 10.5 kW cooling
- 13 kW heating
12% more electricity than the median of 136 comparable 10 kW reverse cycle ducted split system registrations (4,758 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 23% of them.
Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 36% (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.
