Guide to the table

Our test was conducted at the University of New South Wales. Models were small- to medium-sized reverse-cycle split-system heat-pump/air-conditioner units typically sold by air-conditioning installers. The indoor unit for all models was wall mounted.

For larger models, see the Test results - large.

Price
From a survey in March 2009. Prices do not include installation.

Features
All units profiled have a remote control, a clock with on/off timers, oscillating louvres, and automatic de-icing. All can run in automatic mode (to maintain a set temperature), or in dry mode (for cooling only, to act as a dehumidifier).

H2 heating capacity (kW)
Shows heat-output capacity (as claimed by the manufacturer) with air temperature at 2°C.

Annual running cost
Calculated on 1500 hours heating per winter at the claimed capacity (electricity costs @ 21c/kWh).
