- Energy rating (cooling)
- 2.5
- Heating: 1.5
- Annual electricity use
- 2,840 kWh
- 364 cooling + 2,476 heating
- Estimated running cost
- $937 / year
- $78 / month · $9,372 over 10 years
- Capacity
- 5.6 kW cooling
- 6 kW heating
4% more electricity than the median of 110 comparable 6 kW reverse cycle split system registrations (2,728 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 20% of them.
Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 64% (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.
