Great Split System
I took the Hisense 8kw split system because the Panasonic was out of stock. Turns out that the Hisense is a better machine than the Panasonic I had previously I’m really happy with - it works a treat!

- Smart Airflow: Spreads conditioned air more effectively around the room for more even comfort.

Q: What size room is the Hisense HAWU28KR usually suited to?
A: It is typically suited to larger living areas or open-plan spaces of about 45 to 65 square metres, depending on ceiling height, insulation, window area and climate. Its rated capacity is 8.0kW for cooling and 8.5kW for heating.
Q: Can the Hisense HAWU28KR be controlled when nobody is at home?
A: Yes. This model supports app control, voice control and geofencing, so it can be adjusted before arriving home or turned off after leaving. Remote access depends on home Wi-Fi and initial setup through the compatible control app.
Q: Is the HAWU28KR a good option for homes with allergy or air quality concerns?
A: Yes. It includes Hi-Nano air purification and self-cleaning technology designed to reduce allergens, mould, bacteria and dust inside the airflow path. It can improve day-to-day room air freshness, but it is not a substitute for dedicated ventilation.
Q: What should be checked before replacing an older split system with the Hisense HAWU28KR?
A: Check the unit dimensions first. The indoor unit is 1075 x 320 x 231mm and the outdoor unit is 900 x 750 x 340mm, so existing wall space, brackets, drain location and pipe run may not match exactly. Installation requires a licensed tradesperson.
Q: How energy efficient is the Hisense HAWU28KR in different Australian climates?
A: Its cooling efficiency is rated 3 stars in hot and cold climates, and 2.5 stars in an average climate. Heating is rated 2.5 stars in hot climates, 2 stars in average climates and 1.5 stars in cold climates, so heating efficiency drops in colder regions.
Q: Does the HAWU28KR move air in more than one direction, or just straight ahead?
A: It can direct air both vertically and horizontally, because it has auto swing louvers in both directions. That helps spread conditioned air more evenly across a wider area, but it still works best within the room where the indoor unit is installed.
