Why Choose Propane R290 for Your Commercial Heat Pump?
You want lower bills. You want green credentials. Enter propane R290. This natural refrigerant has an ultra-low global warming potential. No fuss. No nasty side effects. Just clean, powerful heating and cooling.
Think of it like swapping white sugar for stevia in your tea. You get sweetness without the crash later.
F-Gas Compliance Made Easy
The EU’s F-Gas regulations can feel like a maze. High stakes. Big fines for non-compliance. Refra’s industrial units tick the box. Yet, many providers still use complex refrigerants.
Megawave’s R290 systems:
- Fully comply with the latest F-Gas rules.
- Meet EN378 safety standards.
- Use a single refrigerant for heating and cooling.
No more juggling permits. No hidden paperwork. Just a fully F-Gas-compliant commercial heat pump.
Energy Efficiency That Pays You Back
You’ll see savings from day one. How? Propane R290 boasts a high coefficient of performance (COP). In plain speak: more heat for every kilowatt you feed in.
Imagine your energy meter cheering every time it spins slower.
Key gains with Megawave’s propane units:
- Up to 20–30% better efficiency than older models.
- Minimal heat loss thanks to advanced compressors.
- Year-round performance, even in chillier climates.
Over the lifecycle, that adds up to serious cost savings for any business using a commercial heat pump.

It’s like switching from plastic bottles to glass. Subtle change, massive impact.
