Why Choose R290 Refrigerant for Your Heat Pump?

R290, also known as propane, is the star of modern air source heat pumps. Here’s why we recommend it:

• Ultra-Low Global Warming Potential: R290 has almost zero GWP, making it an eco-friendly choice.
• High Efficiency: It transfers heat more effectively than many alternatives, boosting your system’s COP (Coefficient of Performance).
• Safety-Assured: Our certified engineers handle R290 with strict protocols, ensuring safe installation and reliable performance.
• Future-Proofed: As regulations tighten on high-GWP gases, R290 keeps you compliant without compromising on comfort.

By opting for our full-service heat pump installation, you’re investing in a system that excels in efficiency and environmental credentials.

This stage ensures your full-service heat pump installation runs without surprises. You’ll know what to expect before any work starts.
