That is about $7 a month more than the cheapest system its size, or roughly $850 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 4 of 5 — middle of the pack.
Registered with the same figures as GREE GMVL-140K1D. On paper they are the same machine.
Cheaper systems the same size
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 GMVL-140WL/A-K(P) 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 17 Sept 2026, priced at the label's 27¢/kWh assumption. Your own bill depends on how you actually use it. Look up a fault code if one is already installed. Compare every registered model, or read more on Gree systems. Common aircon problems have their own pages.
