- Energy rating (cooling)
- 3.5
- Heating: 2
- Annual electricity use
- 3,401 kWh
- 433 cooling + 2,968 heating
- Estimated running cost
- $1,122 / year

- Capacity
- 8.2 kW cooling
- 8.5 kW heating
6% less electricity than the median of 120 comparable 8 kW reverse cycle split system registrations (3,622 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 82% of them.
Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 55% (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.

| Climate zone | kWh / year | Per year | 10 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cold zone | 3,401 | $1,122 | $11,223 |
| Mixed zone | 1,758 | $580 | $5,801 |
| Hot zone | 2,158 | $712 | $7,121 |
At 33c/kWh. Formula: cost = annual kWh × price. The kWh figure is the label’s residential estimate for that zone; commercial-profile figures are in the specifications.
