That is about $3 a month more than the cheapest system its size, or roughly $310 over ten years — before you weigh purchase price, which often runs the other way.
It is not an inefficient unit, though. It sits at the larger end of its size group, so it works harder for the same rating. On efficiency alone it ranks 1 of 7 — middle of the pack.
Looking at the RSUA5AVMG for your home?
This is the outdoor unit of a zoned system. The indoor schedule and the controls are what everything else turns on.
What to pin down before you commit
- The indoor terminal type and capacity for every zone
- How the zones are grouped, and which controller drives them
- Whether the design load reflects how the space is actually used
- Commissioning and handover — who sets it up and shows you how it runs
A zoned system's consumption follows its indoor schedule. The running cost above is for the configuration NEA tested, not for a particular zone layout.
Figures are NEA energy-label records checked 22 Jul 2026, priced at the label's 27¢/kWh assumption. Your own bill depends on how you actually use it.
