Why R290 Refrigerant Heat Pumps Matter
Heating your home or business shouldn’t cost the Earth. Literally. Traditional systems burn gas or oil and pump out carbon. But what if you could tap into outside air and turn it into cosy warmth? That’s exactly what R290 refrigerant heat pumps do.
Here’s the deal:
– R290 has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 3.
– It slashes carbon emissions compared to R32 or R410A.
– You still get hot water up to 75 °C—ideal for those older radiators.
No smoke. No fuss. Just efficient warmth.
Understanding R290: The Eco-Friendly Refrigerant
Ever wondered how a heat pump turns chilly air into lounge-room toastiness? It’s all about refrigerant cycles.
- Evaporation: R290 soaks up heat from outdoor air.
- Compression: The pump raises its temperature.
- Condensation: Heat moves into your radiators or underfloor loops.
- Expansion: The cycle resets, ready to grab more heat.
Compared to other refrigerants, R290’s tiny GWP means your system is kinder to the planet. Plus, it meets new eco standards across Europe.

How We Stack Up Against Competitors
You may have seen Samsung’s EHS Mono R290. Nice machine. Uses R290, offers similar capacities, and hits 75 °C. Even has a fancy Groove Grid sound insulation. But here’s where Mono R290 Gen 7 by The Heat Pumps UK pulls ahead:
- Local Expertise: Samsung’s service is global. Our team lives and breathes the UK market.
- Tailored Finance: Government grants + bespoke payment plans. Not a one-size-fits-all.
