Introduction: A Fresh Look at Modern Commercial Heat Pumps
Billions of pounds are wasted every year on old, inefficient heat systems. Those ageing Rheem units you see on rooftops? They still do the job, but at a hefty cost. Enter modern commercial heat pumps. They’re quieter, greener and far kinder to your budget.
In this post, we’ll explore why Megawave’s latest range of modern commercial heat pumps outshines the discontinued Rheem 95302200D/H. From cutting out high-GWP refrigerants to slashing energy bills, you’ll see the full story. Ready to get serious about efficiency?

How Rheem’s Discontinued Heat Pump 95302200D/H Held Up
Rheem’s Commercial Air-to-Water Heat Pump 95302200D/H had its perks. Here’s a quick snapshot:
- Delivered hot water up to 65 °C.
- Achieved a COP of 4.0, thanks to careful psychrometric tuning.
- Recoveries up to 282 L/hour at a 50 °C rise (20 °C ambient).
- Storage: 400–4,000 litres per unit.
- Weight: Roughly 135 kg when full.
- Used R134a refrigerant, with a global warming potential (GWP) of 1,430.
Not bad for its day. But a COP of 4.0? Competitors now hit 5.5 or higher. Plus, R134a generates a carbon hit every time there’s a leak or end-of-life disposal. And those recovery rates drop steeply in cooler weather—bad news in the UK winter.
The Megawave Advantage: Zero-Carbon R290 and Superior Efficiency
Megawave’s newest lineup uses R290 refrigerant. It’s zero-carbon, with near-negligible GWP. That alone cuts your environmental footprint by over 95%.
But efficiency isn’t just about refrigerant. Megawave’s units boast:
- COPs up to 5.8, even at 60 °C.
- Better low-temp recovery than older models.
- Compact, lightweight design for easy rooftop or ground installation.
- Smart controls that adjust output in real time.
- Quiet operation (under 55 dBA at 1 m).
Higher COP means lower kWh use. Fewer kWh = smaller bills. And no nasty surprises when regulations tighten on high-GWP refrigerants. Plus, with R290 you avoid hefty end-of-life disposal fees. It’s a win for your wallet and the planet.

Energy prices never stay still. Old heat pumps struggle to keep up. Megawave’s solution:
- Slashes annual energy spend by up to 40%.
- Qualifies for government grants: up to 35% off installation costs.
- Offers ROI in 3–5 years, depending on usage.
