So I looked at my energy usage over Tuesday and Wednesday when it was warm and I did use my aircon a bit. As far as I can tell aircon use only slightly increased energy usage which would suggest my a/c is fairly efficient.

split system? yeah they use bugger all so long as you turn it on before it heats up outside. Very good at maintaining temperature, but far less power efficient to cool it down from hot.
