About the same electricity as the median of 18 comparable 12.5 kW reverse cycle multi-split / vrf registrations (5,818 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 17% of them.

Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 32% (this compares very different sizes, so the cohort figure above is the useful one).
