Why Choose R290 Refrigerant Heat Pumps?
Heating your home shouldn’t break the bank or the planet. That’s where R290 refrigerant heat pumps come in. They use a natural, zero-carbon refrigerant (propane) to transfer heat from outside air into your radiators, underfloor loops or hot water tank.
Here’s the simple bit:
– They sip a bit of electricity.
– They punch out plenty of heat.
– They cut out tonnes of CO₂.
Sound good? Let’s dive deeper.
Understanding the 5kW Monobloc Design
“Monobloc” means all-in-one. Outdoor unit. Compressor. Heat exchanger. All sealed up in stainless steel. No indoor module needed. Just a pipe to your water cylinder. Simple. Clean. Compact.
Key specs at a glance:
– Nominal capacity: 5.00 kW
– Power input (W35/A-7): 1.67 kW
– Refrigerant type: R290
– SCOP at 35 °C: 4.84
– Dimensions: 850 × 998 × 500 mm
– Weight: 86 kg (net)
That SCOP? Seasonal Coefficient of Performance. A fancy way to say efficiency over winter. 4.84 means almost five units of heat for each unit of electricity. Nice, right?
The Eco-Friendly Edge
R290 has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 3. Compare that to R32’s 675. Insane. Here’s why it matters:
– Lower carbon impact. R290 refrigerant heat pumps emit far less if there’s a leak.
– Future-proof. R32 is being phased out by 2026. R290 stays strong.
– Tougher lifespan. These units last longer and need fewer top-ups.
With air source heat pumps on the rise across Europe, choosing a zero-carbon refrigerant like R290 sets you up for both savings and sustainability.
Smart Controls for Smarter Heating
Gone are the days of fiddling with dials. The Samsung MIM-EN control board (mono control kit) brings:
– A wired LCD touchscreen.
– Built-in Wi-Fi.
– Smartphone app access.
– Flow sensors and temperature probes.
Schedule heating from your sofa. Check system status on your commute. Get alerts if something’s off. You’re in control – always.
Government Incentives & Cost Savings
Worried about the upfront cost? Don’t be. There are grants and rebates to ease the pain:
– UK Clean Heat Grant: Up to £5,000 off.
– ECO4 Scheme: Slash bills for qualifying households.
– Local Authority Grants: Some councils top up funding.
Combine that with energy bills cutting by up to 60%. You’re laughing all the way to the bank.

Tips for Getting the Most from Your Heat Pump
- Insulate first. A warm home starts with good insulation.
- Optimal flow temperature: aim for 35–45 °C. Keeps COP high.
- Use smart scheduling: match heat to your routine.
- Annual service: prevents drops in performance.
Follow these steps, and your R290 refrigerant heat pump will sing.
Real-World Results
“I switched last winter. My bills dropped by £500 in three months. The app alerts me if something’s odd. And I sleep better knowing I’m cutting carbon.” – Sarah, Derbyshire.
That’s the kind of impact we love to see.
