Panasonic U-100PZH3R8/S-1014PF3E is a 9.5 kW reverse cycle ducted split system heat pump registered for sale in New Zealand under the trans-Tasman E3 energy rating scheme (registration AAC9624).
- Energy rating (cooling)
- 3.5
- Heating: 2.5
- Annual electricity use
- 3,848 kWh
- 471 cooling + 3,377 heating
- Estimated running cost
- $1,270 / year
- $106 / month · $12,698 over 10 years
- Capacity
- 9.5 kW cooling
- 10.8 kW heating
19% less electricity than the median of 136 comparable 10 kW reverse cycle ducted split system registrations (4,758 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 91% of them.
Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 48% (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.
