FAQs about Rheem Heat Pump Hot Water Systems for Canberra
Why is R290 refrigerant better than other gases like R134a?
R290 (propane) is widely considered the most efficient refrigerant used in domestic heat pumps today.
Benefits include:
- Higher energy efficiency reduces your running costs.
- Lower global warming potential (GWP ≈ 3) — dramatically better for the environment.
- Excellent low-temperature performance, making it ideal for Canberra's climate.
Rheem uses R290 in the AmbiPower Compact and Split models for maximum efficiency and a low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3.
Are heat pumps efficient in Canberra's cold winters?
Yes — Rheem's AmbiPower and AmbiHeat systems are designed for temperatures well below freezing. Their advanced compressors and refrigerants allow them to extract heat from cold air even during frosty mornings.
Why use Propane (R290) as a refrigerant gas instead of CO2 (R744)
R290 is preferred over R744 due to its lower operating pressures. This results in simpler and less expensive systems.
R744 has a GWP of 1. R290 has a GWP of 3. The minimum GWP requirements for heat pumps in Australia are typically no higher than 700.
How long do Rheem heat pumps last?
With correct installation and maintenance, many systems last 10–15 years or more. Rheem's Australian-wide service network ensures parts and support remain readily available.
Do heat pumps qualify for government rebates?
In many situations, yes. Heat pumps are often eligible for ACT and Federal energy-efficiency rebates.
We can help guide you through eligibility and paperwork.
