The Right Decision
R290 is a natural refrigerant that delivers exceptional performance with a very low environmental impact. It offers a clean and efficient alternative to fossil fuel based heating systems and traditional refrigerants. It is widely recognized as one of the most effective and future friendly options for residential heating and hot water production.
R290 is suitable for both new homes and retrofit installations and provides a reliable, quiet, and efficient way to heat living spaces and domestic hot water. Explore our range of R290 heat pumps today, and if you’ve got questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.
This advantage positions R290 as an effective step toward reducing carbon emissions while still maintaining strong heating performance
R290 works effectively with modern underfloor heating or radiator systems. It supports both new home builds and upgrades from gas or oil based systems. This makes R290 a flexible choice for many residential environments.
R290 is widely used in refrigeration and commercial scale heating applications and has a long history of safe performance. Domestic systems typically contain around one kilogram of propane which is less than twelve percent of the volume found in a standard barbecue cylinder.
When correctly installed and located, it represents a very low risk level that is comparable to other flammable gas appliances commonly used in households.
R290 supports the shift away from high emission heating systems by providing a clean and efficient heating solution that aligns with long term sustainability goals. It is suitable for homeowners who want to reduce environmental impact without sacrificing performance or comfort.
