Certificate counts are computed from the model's registered performance data using the current regulated equations. A lodged claim depends on the specific installation, household size, and the scheme rules in force at creation. Energy savings % is against the AS/NZS 4234:2021 reference electric storage water heater for that zone and load size, calculated from the model's registered performance data, or taken directly from the register where it publishes a savings figure. VEU registers this data at the small load (the step-down load for a medium-rated system) and ESS at the medium load, so the two schemes' figures differ for the same zone.
The Panasonic HE-UM40CR-PHE-315AGR is a split-system CO2 (R744) heat pump water heater: a 4 kW-class outdoor heat pump unit paired with a 315 L vitreous-enamel storage tank. The heat pump delivers up to 5.8 kW of heating with a declared COP of 5.00, and operates down to -10 degrees C outdoor temperature.
R744 is a natural refrigerant with a GWP of 1. The system delivers hot water at 63 degrees C with no electric backup element. The 315 L tank is offered in this vitreous-enamel version or as the equivalent stainless-steel PHE-315ASR tank; both pair with the same HE-UM40CR heat pump.
Panasonic and its distributors publish a 10-year parts-and-labour warranty across the CO2 heat pump range.
