Energy rating (cooling): 3; Heating: 2
Annual electricity use: 1,433 kWh; 180 cooling + 1,253 heating
Estimated running cost: $473 / year; $39 / month · $4,729 over 10 years
Capacity: 3.4 kW cooling; 3.7 kW heating

3% 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 44% of them.

Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 81% (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.
