AmbiPower 280e

The innovative AmbiPower range of Heat Pump water heaters has welcomed a new, affordable era of water heating to New Zealand. Rather than using the traditional methods of electricity or gas to heat your home’s water, the AmbiPower – a heat pump water heater – utilises heat from the surrounding air. As there is always heat in the atmosphere which can be used, the AmbiPower provides a reliable, efficient, and sustainable way to reduce your water heating energy consumption that doesn’t rely on direct sunlight to operate. The result: a water heater that can save you over 70% on your water heating energy.

Ambiheat HDc-270

The AMBIHEAT HDc-270 Heat Pump redefines water heating with its 270L capacity, smart energy efficiency, and independence from direct sunlight. Its advanced microchannel heating technology ensures uniform heating even in cold climates (-5°C to higher ambient temperatures). With a Coefficient of Performance (COP) outperforming standard electric storage heaters by up to 4.5 times, it's remarkably energy efficient. Moreover, the heat pump employs recyclable metals for most of its components, and its features like Vacation Mode and Timer Control prevent unnecessary energy usage. The Rheem Heat Pump water heaters, integrated with large anodes, guarantee a prolonged water heater lifespan.

EcoPlus

A superior choice over traditional water heaters, using less power, operating quietly (37dB), and harnessing ambient heat through a CO2-based refrigerant (R744) for eco-friendly, efficient heating. Features include automatic heating, fast recovery, no backup element, and easy installation. Boasting a COP up to 4.7 times better than electric heaters, it remains efficient even at -10C. Made from recyclable metals, with a 6-year heat pump and 10-year tank warranty, minimising embodied carbon.
