Electricity pricec/kWh

Energy rating (cooling): 4
Annual electricity use: 275 kWh
Estimated running cost: $91 / year; $8 / month · $908 over 10 years
Capacity: 6 kW cooling

4% less electricity than the median of 8 comparable 6 kW cooling only split system registrations (288 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 88% of them.

Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 97% (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.

Mitsubishi Electric running cost by climate zone
