About Gree Pular GWH28AGEXH-K6DNA1A 8.5kW Inverter Split System Air Conditioner
A high-capacity wall-mounted reverse cycle split system, the Gree Pular GWH28AGEXH-K6DNA1A provides around 8.5 kW cooling output and almost 9.0 kW heating output. The Gree Pular series is known for its smart features (WiFi control integrated), beautiful matte-finish design, large operating range, and inverter compressor technology that uses R32 refrigerant.
This unit is designed for big living spaces or open-plan areas in Australian homes where high power and advanced features are required.
Key Features
The primary characteristics of the device are as follows:
- Rated cooling capability is 8.5 kW with a possible reduction to about 1.6 kW and increment to about 10.25 kW at the same time.
- Rated heating ability is 9.0 kW with a possible increase to around 11.3 kW.
- The rated power input of the unit for cooling is approximately 2.30 kW and for heating it is 2.65 kW.
- The energy efficiency of this model is represented by the coefficients EER ~3.67, COP/ACOP ~3.37 (heating).
- The refrigerant used is R32, which is less harmful to the environment.
- WiFi connectivity is a built-in feature that comes as standard, and users can operate the unit remotely using the “Gree Smart” app available on both Apple iOS and Android platforms.
- The self-cleaning evaporator (auto-clean cycle of condensation→frosting→defrosting→drying→sanitisation) will not only benefit indoor air quality but also reduce maintenance requirements.
- This unit boasts a wide operating temperature range: cooling from outdoor temperature as low as -10 °C to ~50 °C; heating from -15 °C to ~24 °C (the conditions depend on the location).
- The body has a chic matte finish, and air flow is through the double louvers that are seamless and those are specially made to fit in with the modern interiors.
Design & Aesthetic Appeal
The indoor unit has a modern and low-profile appearance that is in a delicate matte white grey, made to fit into the living space rather than to be a dominant part of it.The outdoor unit’s dimensions correspond to the higher capacity and it is also sturdy enough for the hefty Australian homes (weight ~51.5 kg of the outdoor unit).
To sum up, the Gree Pular gives a luxurious appearance and incorporates the latest technology that meets the requirements of the current Australian home design trends.

Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths:
- High cooling and heating capacity (8.5 kW and 9.0 kW respectively) — perfect for large, open-plan living areas or homes that need higher airflow.
- Modern compressor technology along with R32 refrigerant — more power-efficient and future-ready.
- Manufacturer-added Smart connectivity (WiFi control) enables remote handling and monitoring.
- Decent indoor air quality due to the combination of self-cleaning, high-efficiency filters, and air intake.
- Gree has Australian presence which helps for service and parts as well as solid brand support and distribution in Australia.
- Wide operating range allows it to be used in different Australian climate zones.
Weaknesses:
- Higher initial cost (unit + installation) will be attached to the large capacity — budget should account for size and complexity.
- The claimed efficiency (EER/ACOP) is satisfactory but not leading the pack when compared to ultra-premium models, meaning operating cost may be higher than best-in-class.
- Correct sizing and professional installation are always important but especially so with large units — if it’s oversized for the room, comfort and efficiency will both suffer.
- The outdoor unit’s dimensions and weight (51.5 kg) may necessitate more durable installation or service accessibility in multi-storey houses or flats.

FAQ
Q1: Is the condenser GWH28AGEXH-K6DNA1A going to be efficient in my area?
In case your residential area or combined space demands about 8–9 kW cooling capacity (large open plan with high ceilings, multiple exposures), this model is perfectly suitable. If your area is smaller, then you might be over-sized which will in turn make the unit less efficient and result in short cycling. Evaluation by a professional for the correct capacity is highly recommended.
Q2: Do you think it will work for heating?
Definitely—it has been given the heating capacity rating of ~9.0 kW and up to ~11.3 kW for the operation range. It is appropriate for colder areas (depending on the local climate).
But do confirm that in your particular location (like Tasmania, Victoria), you go with suitable specs, insulation, etc.
Q3: Which refrigerant is used for it and what is the future aspect?
The system uses R32 refrigerant, which is gradually turning out to be the standard refrigerant and is the one which is less harmful to the environment. So, yes, it is a fairly future-proof option.
Q4: Is it possible to operate remotely or through the smartphone?
Yes, all Pular units have wireless internet as a standard factory-installed feature, you can control the temperature, modes, and schedules with the Gree Smart app from anywhere.
Q5: How much will it cost to run the unit?
Running costs are dependent on the usage pattern, climate, insulation, set-temperatures, and installation quality. The rated power input (2.30 kW for cooling, 2.65 kW for heating) provides a baseline but the actual consumption will be different. It is inverter driven and thus will modulate load which is more efficient compared to fixed-speed units—however, you should always size your unit properly, make sure that duct/piping runs are minimal, well insulated, and installation is optimal.
So, Should You Buy It?
Gree Pular GWH28AGEXH-K6DNA1A is a good option if you are looking for an inverter split system from a reputable brand with a high capacity, a lot of features, and a large living area. Its modern smart features, strong capacities, and good value offer (especially if bundled through your Aussie Solar Tech installs).
However, if your space is smaller or your highest priority is ultra-highest efficiency rather than capacity, it may be worth your while to assess a smaller capacity model (and lower cost) which might serve just as good. Plus, make sure that the installation is carried out by a qualified technician and that the unit is sized properly for the area to ensure maximum comfort and efficiency.
