    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.

    Maiden + 0.25 O's

    The heat and then the Haze kept the total down today. Peaked a tad over 3 kWh and this after was spoilt by the cloud / Haze. Nearly 25 kWh and the total is moving on so still happy. :)
