7.2 kWTCL BreezeIN 2.0 7.2kW Split System
The 7.2kW TCL BreezeIN 2.0 Inverter Split (model TAC-24CHSD/VEIH) is sized for large living rooms and open-plan areas. As a guide, it cools a room of up to about 52 to 60 m². That is from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' sizing chart for an insulated room: the larger figure if it faces north, the smaller if it faces east. Western sun, poor insulation and high ceilings bring it down. If the space is bigger or sun-exposed, step up to the 8.2kW.
Part of the TCL BreezeIN 2.0 Inverter Split range, TCL's split system line, in 6 sizes. Running costs below use the Sydney median rate; the Eastern Suburbs and Western Sydney pages cost systems on their own network tariffs. Check the size against your rooms, compare it with other 7.2 kW options, see every 7kW split system ranked by running cost, or ask about supply and installation.

About $503 a year at the current Sydney median electricity rate: $207 of cooling plus $296 of heating, from the official GEMS test figures.
The TCL BreezeIN 2.0 7.2kW uses 625 kWh per year for cooling and 893 kWh per year for heating under GEMS test conditions for Sydney's climate zone. These are the official energy figures on the energy label. The system carries a 3-star cooling rating and a 3-star heating rating under the same zoned labelling system.
Efficiency is measured by AEER for cooling (3.42) and ACOP for heating (3.96). The system uses R32 refrigerant. Your actual running costs depend on how often you run the air conditioner and your local electricity rate, both of which vary by household.

How it compares with other 7kW split systems
We install 20 split systems in the 7kW size. The TCL BreezeIN 2.0 7.2kW is the 2nd cheapest to run.
| Figure | This unit | All 20 in this size | Where it sits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost to run a year | $503 | $485 to $619 | 2nd cheapest |
| Indoor unit noise | 64 dB | 55 to 65 dB | Joint 11th quietest |
| Outdoor unit noise | 66 dB | 63 to 68 dB | Joint 10th quietest |
| Heat with 2°C outside | 6.4 kW | 5.4 to 8.5 kW | 15th most heat |
| Power on standby | 4.6 W | 0.5 to 14.6 W | 17th lowest |
Cost to run a year
The next cheaper one to run is the Daikin Alira X 7.1kW, at $485 a year. The next dearer one is the ActronAir Serene 7.2kW, at $504. In Western Sydney and Wollongong, power costs a little less, so it is about $471 a year there.
Indoor and outdoor noise
Fewer decibels means a quieter unit. These are the figures on the energy label. For the indoor unit, brochures often print a different measure (sound pressure), which reads lower than the label.
Heat with 2°C outside
For winter, look at the heat it gives on a cold morning. In the official energy rating test with 2°C outside, running as hard as it can, it gives 6.4 kW. That is about 12% less than its rated heating output of 7.3 kW.
Power on standby
Even switched off at the remote, it still draws about 4.6 watts. Left like that for a whole year, that is about 40 kWh, or about $13 at the Sydney median rate.
