How Haier Performs in Cranbourne East's Climate

Very GoodClimate Zone 6 | R290 refrigerant

Haier's R290 refrigerant is well-suited to climate zone 6. Propane (R290) holds its output in cooler conditions better than R134a does, making Haier a strong choice for this area. Winter mornings below 5 degrees will reduce efficiency slightly, but the system recovers quickly as temperatures rise.

Noise Levels in a Metro Area

At 43dB, Haier produces moderate noise comparable to a quiet conversation. In metro areas with close neighbours, consider placement on the side of the home furthest from neighbouring bedrooms.

Pros

  • 43 dB(A) at 1 metre on the 200L and 250L, quiet for an all-in-one
  • Backed in Australia by Fisher and Paykel
  • 5 years parts and labour, with the cylinder covered for 7
  • Propane (R290) refrigerant
  • 330L is the largest all-in-one tank in this comparison

Cons

  • Country of manufacture is not published
  • The 330L drops to a published COP of 4.00
  • Not on the Solar Victoria locally made list, so it earns the lower Victorian rebate tier
  • The 330L is wider and deeper than most, so check the space before you order
