16% more electricity than the median of 177 comparable 2.5 kW reverse cycle split system registrations (1,073 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 14% of them.

Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 85% (this compares very different sizes, so the cohort figure above is the useful one).
