Why Commercial Sites Need R290 Heat Pumps
You’ve probably heard the buzz about heat pumps. But when it comes to big warehouses, factories or supermarkets, you need raw power and reliability. Traditional boilers gulp gas, rack up bills and pile on carbon. Our R290 systems flip the script:
- Zero-carbon refrigerant: R290 is natural and slashes global warming potential.
- Dual-purpose: Heating from 100 kW to 400 kW, cooling from 70 kW to 280 kW.
- Tough in the cold: Operates down to −15 °C without breaking a sweat.
Think of R290 as a super-smart fridge, but in reverse. Instead of cooling your food, it warms your workspace—in winter and summer.
Solis vs. Megawave: A Friendly Comparison
You might’ve seen the Hussmann Solis R290 heat pump. It’s solid: modular frames, EC fans, scroll or screw compressors. Nice engineering. But every system has its blind spots:
-
Circuit redundancy
– Solis has up to three circuits, so one failing doesn’t kill the whole unit.
– Smart. Yet complexity can mean higher service bills if you need specialist parts. -
Frame insulation
– Solis uses PU foam and optional rock wool. Great for defrost noise control.
– But bulky panels can complicate install in tight spaces. -
Global support
– Hussmann is big, but local UK expertise? You might wait longer for service.
At Megawave, we’ve matched strengths and addressed gaps:
- Simplified modular design cuts installation time by 20%.
- Built-in, high-performance insulation eliminates extra panels.
- UK-based experts on call, plus tailored maintenance plans.
No gimmicks. Just heavy-duty efficiency, backed by local teams who know your site.
Unlocking heat pump government grants
Here’s the kicker. Installing a high-capacity heat pump can cost tens of thousands upfront. Cue those nagging doubts. But did you know you can tap into heat pump government grants to ease the hit?
What are heat pump government grants?
They’re incentives from UK authorities to encourage renewable heating uptake. Think cashback, rebates, or interest-free loans. The aim: slash carbon, boost efficiency, meet net-zero targets.
Key grant programmes
– Boiler Upgrade Scheme: Up to £7,500 toward qualified heat pump installs.
– Non-Domestic RHI: Payments over seven years for commercial sites.
– Local authority grants: Some councils offer extra support for SMEs.
Benefits at a glance:
– Lower upfront cost
– Faster payback
– Enhanced ROI on energy savings
– Demonstrate green credentials
Most businesses qualify. Even if you’re just under the 50 kW threshold, our team can guide you through the maze. We handle the paperwork. You save time and stress.
Financing & Flexible Options
Even with heat pump government grants, you might want to spread the investment. No problem. Megawave offers:
- Flexible leasing: Monthly payments, not lump sums.
- Performance contracts: Pay based on energy saved.
- Tailored finance: Align repayments with cash flow cycles.
Imagine paying less each month than your old gas bills. Yep, it’s possible. We crunch the numbers, we build the plan. You just enjoy consistent comfort.
Seamless Installation & Maintenance
What’s worse than a fancy heat pump? A fancy heat pump that sits in your yard gathering leaves. Our installation promise:
- Site survey: We walk every corner with you.
- Bespoke design: Match capacity, piping, and controls to your layout.
- Professional install: Clean, swift, and on schedule.
Post-install, you get:

- Annual efficiency tune-ups.
That ensures your R290 system hums along and keeps your carbon footprint in check.
