Energy rating (cooling): 3.5; Heating: 2
Annual electricity use: 1,572 kWh; 185 cooling + 1,387 heating
Estimated running cost: $519 / year; $43 / month · $5,188 over 10 years
Capacity: 3.5 kW cooling; 4 kW heating

13% more electricity than the median of 187 comparable 3.5 kW reverse cycle split system registrations (1,395 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 29% of them.

Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 80% (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

Cold zone (Canberra, Hobart, Ballarat, alpine areas)	1,572	$43	$519	$2,594	$5,188
Mixed zone (Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth)	812	$22	$268	$1,340	$2,680
Hot zone (Brisbane, Darwin, Cairns, Townsville)	942	$26	$311	$1,554	$3,109

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.

Heat pumps that use less electricity

Same configuration and type, cooling capacity within 12% of 3.5 kW, at least 3% lower annual kWh in the cold zone.
