High-Temperature R290 Heat Pumps: Reliable 70°C Hot Water Even in Freezing Conditions

The Future of Home Heating: Why 70°C Matters

Think back to your last winter morning. Chilly tiles. Cold showers. Not fun. Traditional boilers push water to around 70°C. Radiators like it. Bedrooms and bathrooms demand it. But most air source heat pumps stop at 55°C. That’s cosy, but not universal. Enter the 70°C hot water heat pump. It bridges the gap. It keeps old-school radiators happy. It meets legislation. And it serves you piping-hot water—even when it’s -15°C outside.

Why aim for 70°C?
Compatibility. Older radiators need higher flow temps.
Versatility. One system for heating and hot taps.
Compliance. New building regs call for energy-efficient, renewable solutions.

Geoclima International S.r.l. Unipersonale pioneered this move. Their high-temperature R290 compressors form the heart of our solution. But you get the full package: design, install, support.

What Sets R290 Apart?

R290 is just propane. But clever. It’s a zero-carbon refrigerant. It has minimal global warming potential (GWP). And it performs brilliantly in low temperatures. Result? A 70°C hot water heat pump that’s efficient, clean and future-proof.

  • Low GWP. Meets strict eco targets.
  • High COP. Cuts energy bills.
  • Simple chemistry. Safer than many alternatives.

Chilling Temperatures? No Problem.

It’s winter. Frost bites at -15°C. Can your heat pump cope? Our R290 units thrive. Here’s how:

  1. Inverter-driven compressors adjust speed.
  2. Dual-stage heat exchangers extract warmth from the air.
  3. Intelligent defrost cycles keep ice at bay.
  4. Built-in antifreeze safeguards performance.

Imagine this: you want a hot shower at dawn. Outside is crisp. The pump kicks in. It silently harvests heat. Even when frost clings to the metal. You get 70°C water at the tap. No shivers. No waiting.

“Our old boiler rattled all night,” says homeowner Sarah.
“Now I wake to instant hot water—even when it’s freezing.”

Balancing Efficiency and Comfort

One concern: high-temp heat pumps might sip more power. Not here. Clever design means you keep a stellar COP—often above 3.0. That means for every kW of electricity, you get 3 kW of heat. Your meter barely flinches.

Key highlights:
Smart defrost keeps downtime minimal.
Cascade options let you pair units for bigger homes.
Variable flow adapts to demand, saving energy in milder weather.

In short: you get both hot water and low bills.

Installation, Grants and Cost Savings

Worried about upfront costs? You’re not alone. Heat pumps can be pricier than boilers initially. But there’s a brighter side:

• Government grants available under the UK’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
• Flexible finance options from The Heat Pumps UK.
• Rapid payback in 3–5 years thanks to energy savings.
• Zero-carbon refrigerant qualifies for extra incentives.

We provide:
Expert installation and maintenance services to keep your pump running smoothly.
Tailored system design based on your home’s needs.
Aftercare support—because peace of mind matters.

Switching makes sense. And with grants up to £7,500, the numbers stack up fast.

Real-World Success: A Case Study

Meet the Thompsons. A family of four in Yorkshire. Their home had oversized radiators and a leaky old boiler. They wanted renewable heating without ripping out every pipe.

Solution:
– A single 70°C hot water heat pump from Geoclima.
– Retained existing radiators.
– Added smart thermostat controls.

Results:
– Room temps stable at 21°C.
– Hot water on demand—for baths, washing up, laundry.
– Savings of £450 a year on energy bills.
– Carbon emissions down by 2 tonnes annually.

Feels like magic? It’s engineering. And yes, it works in the real world.
