Energy rating (cooling): 3; Heating: 2
Annual electricity use: 2,394 kWh; 288 cooling + 2,106 heating
Estimated running cost: $790 / year; $66 / month · $7,900 over 10 years
Capacity: 5 kW cooling; 5.8 kW heating

11% more electricity than the median of 236 comparable 5 kW reverse cycle split system registrations (2,154 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 17% of them.

Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 70% (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)	2,394	$66	$790	$3,950	$7,900
Mixed zone (Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth)	1,249	$34	$412	$2,061	$4,122

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 5 kW, at least 3% lower annual kWh in the cold zone.
