- Energy rating (cooling)
- 2.5
- Heating: 1
- Annual electricity use
- 9,395 kWh
- 972 cooling + 8,423 heating
- Estimated running cost
- $3,100 / year

- Capacity
- 15.2 kW cooling
- 18 kW heating
18% more electricity than the median of 71 comparable 16 kW reverse cycle ducted split system registrations (7,959 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 7% of them.
Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 15% (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.
