# The specified -6˚C to 43˚C temperature range is the operational range of the Heat Pump. The electric element activates when the ambient air temperature is outside this range and heating of the water is required.

^ The COP of 5.2 is the average value in the AS/NZS5125 performance test at 19°C ambient temperature over the entire heat-up process. Note that the actual COP of the product at any given time will be impacted by a number of factors, including the ambient and cold-water inlet temperatures at the place of installation and time of day/season of operation.

* Energy savings of up to 73.9% are based on New Zealand Government approved TRNSYS simulation modelling using a medium load and apply when replacing an electric water heater of a similar size with a Rheem A551E280R5 Heat Pump water heater.
