3% 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 39% of them.

Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 58% (this compares very different sizes, so the cohort figure above is the useful one).
