It is important in this day and age to look at the energy consumption of ducted air conditioning. So over the next couple of weeks i am going to put up the estimated costs of running different brands of air conditioning. The indicative running costs are based on TEN YEARS of running under average usage.

I will start with the most common capacity of air conditioning An average sized 3 bedroom home generally uses a 14.5kw airconditioner to heat and cool it so we will start with this.

A Fujitsu Ducted Airconditioner Model ART54 luak 14.5kw Inverter has a three star rating and will cost approx $3081.00 over ten years to run .

A Mitsubishi Electric Ducted Airconditioner Model PEH-RP140EA2 Inverter has not recieved a star rating as yet but costs approx $2862.00 to run. This is slightly less power than the Fujitsu Model.

An ECLIPSE V150 14.3kw Ducted system will cost approx $2790.00

and finally a Daikin FDYQ160 has an output of 15.5kw and will cost about $3087.00 over 10 years under normal running standards.

So in this range the most energy efficient system is the Eclipse V150 Ducted Air Conditioning system. Till next time
Stay cool
