Save up to 54%* on your cooling bill this Summer with a Rinnai Split System Air Conditioner
As the summer heat sets in, many homeowners are looking for ways to stay cool without seeing their electricity bills skyrocket. At Rinnai, we understand that finding the right air conditioner can be a balancing act between comfort, performance, and cost.
That’s why our Rinnai J Series Split System Air Conditioners have been expertly engineered to provide up to a 9-star energy efficiency* which helps you save up to 54%** on your annual cooling energy bills. This of course is compared to comparable size air conditioner that’s other Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) approved.
In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the features that make these units so energy-efficient, how they can help you save on running costs, and why Rinnai is a trusted name in air conditioning.
Energy Efficiency: The Key to Lower Costs
The J Series from Rinnai is built with energy efficiency in mind, so you can stay cool without worrying about rising energy costs. The key to this units’ efficiency lies in its impressive Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER).
An air conditioner’s EER is a measure of its cooling capacity relative to the energy it consumes. The higher the EER, the more efficient the unit. By investing in a Rinnai air conditioner, you’re choosing a unit that maximises cooling while minimising energy consumption.
For a more accurate representation of efficiency, Rinnai measures Annualised EER, or AEER, which takes the J Series’ standby power into account when calculating the ratio.
For example, a Rinnai J Series 2.5kW Reverse Cycle Split System (HSNRJ25B1) has an AEER of 4.52 compared to the same capacity MEPS-approved system – which has a less efficient AEER of 3.66.
Comparing the J Series
We know that making an informed decision is important when choosing an air conditioner. That’s why we’ve made it easy to compare the J Series with other MEPS-approved systems.
Using the Energy Rating Table below, you can see exactly how much you’ll save. Select your climate zone to see the energy efficiency ratings and estimated running costs for each unit. Whether you’re in a hot, average, or cool climate, we’ve got the right solution for you.

Designed for Maximum Efficiency
It’s not just about high EER ratings – the J Series is packed with features that optimise performance and efficiency. Here’s how we’ve designed these systems to work smarter, not harder:
- High-Efficiency Inverter Compressors – These compressors adjust the cooling power according to the temperature in the room, ensuring the system operates at the optimal level without overworking itself.
- Larger Heat Exchanger – This allows for greater heat transfer, improving overall system efficiency. It’s the kind of detail that makes a noticeable difference in performance.
- Optimised Air Channel – New fin-shaped louver optimises 3D air distribution and improve long distance air supply so conditioned air reaches every corner of your room.
- Enhanced Air Quality – The high-density air filter absorbs undesirable contaminates and the intuitive fresh function keeps the indoor unit free of excess moisture – ensuring optimum performance and hygiene.
- Low Standby Power Consumption – Even when the system is not actively cooling, it uses minimal power, reducing wasted energy and helping you save even when you’re not using it.
Real Cost Savings for Homeowners
Let’s talk numbers. For a typical household, the cost of running air conditioning can add up quickly. With Rinnai’s energy-efficient J Series, you can expect to save on air conditioning running cost by up to $200 per year, when compared to comparable MEPS-systems. Over 10 years, that quickly becomes $2000 saved. That’s a significant saving, especially during the hot Australian summer when air conditioners are used most frequently.
