How Lochinvar’s 40-Gallon CHPA-40 200 Sets the Bar
Before we dive into Megawave’s latest, let’s tip our hats to Lochinvar’s CHPA-40 200. It’s a 40-gallon commercial heat pump water heater that’s earned its stripes:
- ENERGY STAR® certified for efficiency
- Hot Water+ mode boosts output by up to 40% long-term
- Guest Mode for one-week bursts of extra hot water
- Leak detection with automatic shutoff
- Whisper-quiet 45 dBA operation
- 4× more efficient than standard electric units
No doubt. Lochinvar nailed the basics. It even cools and dehumidifies the surrounding space. Perfect for tight utility rooms. But there’s room to push greener refrigerants and smarter controls further. That’s where Megawave shines.
Where Megawave’s R290 Powerhouse Surpasses the Rest
Megawave’s new smart commercial heat pump water heater brings fresh thinking. We kept the 40-gallon size you love but swapped in R290 — a zero-carbon refrigerant. Here’s why that matters:
Eco-Friendly R290 Refrigerant
R290 has nearly zero global warming potential. That cuts your carbon footprint right at the source. You still get the heat; the planet pays less.
- 90% lower CO₂ emissions
- Fully compliant with EU F-Gas regulations
- Safer for technicians and occupants
Intelligent Controls & Connectivity
Our unit doesn’t just run. It thinks. You can:
- Monitor performance in real time
- Schedule heating around your business hours
- Get fault alerts straight to your phone
No guesswork. No surprises.
Performance and Efficiency
Megawave’s system nails a UEF of 3.8. That’s better than the competition. It delivers steady hot water, even on chillier days. And it’s built for light-duty commercial use:
- Top-entry connections for cramped boiler rooms
- Zero side clearance needed
- Robust 3-year tank warranty
When your team needs hot water on demand, reliability counts.
