    MSZ-GE50VA – rated 5.8Kw
    cost to run approx $1.50 per day

    MSZ-GE60VA – rated 6.8Kw
    cost to run approx $1.61 per day

    MSZ-GE71VA – rated 8.1Kw
    cost to run approx $1.92 per day

    These figures are estimates only and are based on 8 hours use over a day with an electricity cost per kilo watt of 19c.

    As the inverter does not run at fixed speed over that 8 hours the unit is operating at 60% input.

    We would recommend an inverter model for a residential property.

    A really good website to visit is http://www.smarterheating.co.nz.

    Installation will vary from company to company, and it also varies nationwide.
