Mdv C-UV-105N8-QC3W / CDV-105HN8-QC3W is a 10.5 kW reverse cycle ducted split system heat pump registered for sale in New Zealand under the trans-Tasman E3 energy rating scheme (registration AAC7220).
- Energy rating (cooling)
- 4.5
- Heating: 2
- Annual electricity use
- 4,244 kWh
- 438 cooling + 3,806 heating
- Estimated running cost
- $1,401 / year
- $117 / month · $14,005 over 10 years
- Capacity
- 10.5 kW cooling
- 11 kW heating
11% less 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 87% of them.
Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 46% (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.
Mdv running cost by climate zone
| Climate zone | kWh / year | Per year | 10 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cold zone | 4,244 | $1,401 | $14,005 |
| Mixed zone | 2,126 | $702 | $7,016 |
| Hot zone | 2,031 | $670 | $6,702 |
At 33c/kWh. Formula: cost = annual kWh × price. The kWh figure is the label’s residential estimate for that zone; commercial-profile figures are in the specifications.
