Mitsubishi Electric has announced the expansion of its Ecodan R290 heat pump range.
Following the launch of the 5kW and 6kW models in October 2023, the range now extends to include 8.5kW, 10kW, and 12kW models. These models, the company says, offer a powerful, low-carbon heating solution for larger homes and properties with higher heat loss.
The Ecodan R290 heat pump, manufactured in the UK, utilises the natural refrigerant R290 and delivers flow temperatures of up to 75°C. This makes them suitable for properties that cannot undergo extensive fabric upgrades or insulation improvements. Additionally, they are compatible with existing microbore pipework, allowing homeowners to transition to renewable heating without major system overhauls.
The Ecodan R290 heat pump has been designed to operate efficiently even in extreme cold – down to temperatures as low as -25°C.
Recognising the need for low-noise solutions, Mitsubishi Electric has engineered the Ecodan R290 heat pump with ‘ultra-quiet technology’ which has earned the system Quiet Mark accreditation.
The new range is fully compatible with all Ecodan cylinders and it incorporates Mitsubishi Electric’s latest Flow Temperature Controller – 7 and MELCloud connectivity.
Joanna Crown, Product Marketing Manager at Mitsubishi Electric, said: “The expansion of our Ecodan R290 range reaffirms our commitment to providing cutting-edge, energy-efficient heating solutions for UK households. With the ability to deliver high temperatures and operate efficiently even in extreme cold, these heat pumps offer a practical and sustainable alternative for a wide range of properties. We are excited to bring this extended range to the market and help households transition to low-carbon heating with minimal disruption.”
