Energy rating (cooling): 3.5; Heating: 2
Annual electricity use: 3,174 kWh; 390 cooling + 2,784 heating
Estimated running cost: $1,047 / year; $87 / month · $10,474 over 10 years
Capacity: 7.1 kW cooling; 8 kW heating

1% more electricity than the median of 203 comparable 7 kW reverse cycle split system registrations (3,143 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 46% of them.

Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 59% (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.
