23% 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 97% of them.

Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 51% (this compares very different sizes, so the cohort figure above is the useful one).
