Electricity pricec/kWh

Energy rating (cooling): 4.5
Annual electricity use: 144 kWh
Estimated running cost: $48 / year; $4 / month · $475 over 10 years
Capacity: 3.5 kW cooling

16% less electricity than the median of 20 comparable 3.5 kW cooling only split system registrations (173 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 90% of them.

Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 99% (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.
