Hi ET,
Take a look on this thread
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4715287
It was started in 2013 and recently updated by Zeupater after a recent purchase. My system(can't remember what it is off hand) does heat and cooling and runs on about 1.2kWh, easily achievable even in the colder months, I believes Zeups runs on a lot less and is adjustable.
Don't mind doing a test to give an example of the power profile ... I'll post it on the Aircon thread and then provide a link .....
