That is about $5 a month more than the cheapest system its size, or roughly $630 over ten years — before you weigh purchase price, which often runs the other way.
Registered with the same figures as SONA SACN 6283. On paper they are the same machine.
Cheaper systems the same size
Systems around the same size that cost less to run, closest in size first. Cheaper to run is not the same as the better buy — purchase price, indoor units, and how well it is installed all sit outside these figures.

Looking at the EGAC12E3 for your home?
This is a plug-in appliance rather than an installed system, so there is little to settle beyond the unit itself.
What to pin down before you commit
- Where the exhaust hose runs, which decides most of how well it performs
- Whether the room is realistically within its range
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.
