Gree GFH12KAXD-S6DNK1A/O / GFH12KAXD-S6DNK1A/I Heat Pump
Gree GFH12KAXD-S6DNK1A/O / GFH12KAXD-S6DNK1A/I is a 3.5 kW reverse cycle ducted split system heat pump registered for sale in New Zealand under the trans-Tasman E3 energy rating scheme (registration AAC9937).
- Energy rating (cooling)
- 3
- Heating: 1.5
- Annual electricity use
- 1,889 kWh
- 202 cooling + 1,687 heating
- Estimated running cost
- $623 / year
- $52 / month · $6,234 over 10 years
- Capacity
- 3.5 kW cooling
- 4.2 kW heating
13% more electricity than the median of 12 comparable 3.5 kW reverse cycle ducted split system registrations (1,675 kWh a year) in the cold zone. Uses less than 8% of them.
Across all 3,611 air conditioner registrations sold in Australia, it uses less than 78% (this compares very different sizes, so the cohort figure above is the useful one).
Annual kWh is the government label figure for a residential user in the cold zone (Canberra climate: Canberra, Hobart, Ballarat, alpine areas). All of New Zealand is the cold zone on the Zoned Energy Rating Label. Cost = kWh × 33c/kWh in NZD; change the price above to your tariff.
Gree running cost by climate zone
| Climate zone | kWh / year | Per year | 10 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cold zone | 1,889 | $623 | $6,234 |
| Mixed zone | 943 | $311 | $3,112 |
| Hot zone | 1,016 | $335 | $3,353 |
At 33c/kWh. Formula: cost = annual kWh × price. The kWh figure is the label’s residential estimate for that zone; commercial-profile figures are in the specifications.
