- 180 cooling + 1,180 heating
- Estimated running cost
- $449 / year
- $37 / month · $4,488 over 10 years
- Capacity
- 2.5 kW cooling
- 3 kW heating
4% more electricity than the median of 10 comparable 2.5 kW reverse cycle ducted split system registrations (1,310 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 30% of them.
Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 83% (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
| Climate zone | kWh / year | Per year | 10 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cold zone | 1,360 | $449 | $4,488 |
| Mixed zone | 718 | $237 | $2,369 |
| Hot zone | 835 | $276 | $2,756 |
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.
