What customers say
Sourced from EnergyAE's HPWH customer-sentiment dataset (public review sites and forums). A small, self-selected sample — not a representative survey.
“The Haier HP250M1U1P is marketed as 'Solar PV Ready,' which means it has specific functionality to make the best use of a solar PV system - this is a significant advantage.”
KiwiTim · Geekzone
The Haier HP250M1-U1 is an integral heat pump water heater sold under the same brand and model code in New Zealand and Australia, supported locally by Fisher & Paykel: the R290 heat pump and a 250 L nominal (246 L total water capacity) enamel-lined steel tank are built into a single monobloc cabinet, weighing 106 kg. It is rated at 2.0 kW average heating capacity from a 0.43 kW rated compressor power input, tested at 20/15 degrees C ambient (DB/WB) heating water from 15 to 55 degrees C for a declared COP of 4.48, and produces 43 dB(A) at 1 m.
The heat pump operates from -7 to 45 degrees C ambient. A 1.5 kW electric element provides backup and boost heating, with a factory default outlet of 60 degrees C. The unit includes a built-in Wi-Fi module and SmartHQ app control with Solar PV mode, prioritising surplus solar generation to heat water up to 75 degrees C for later use.
Haier’s NZ warranty covers the cylinder for 7 years parts (5 years labour), and the refrigeration components and other components for 5 years parts and labour (domestic use); commercial use drops to 1 year across the board.
