Climate zone

Electricity pricec/kWh

Energy rating (cooling): 3.5; Heating: 2
Annual electricity use: 3,661 kWh; 418 cooling + 3,243 heating
Estimated running cost: $1,208 / year; $101 / month · $12,081 over 10 years
Capacity: 7.9 kW cooling; 9.1 kW heating

1% more electricity than the median of 120 comparable 8 kW reverse cycle split system registrations (3,622 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 45% of them.

Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 51% (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.
