Why Choose This System

Rheem AmbiPower 280e — Up to 70% Energy Savings

The Rheem AmbiPower 280e works by extracting heat from the surrounding air and transferring it to your water — using up to 70% less electricity than a conventional electric element. Backed by over 85 years of Rheem engineering in Australia.

Up to 70% Less Energy

With a COP of up to 3.5, the Rheem AmbiPower 280e is highly efficient. For every 1 unit of electricity consumed, the system produces up to 3.5 units of heat energy — dramatically reducing running costs.

🌡️

Frost Protection to -7°C

Built-in frost protection means reliable hot water year-round. The system operates efficiently down to -7°C ambient temperature, making it suitable for all Australian climates.

🌿

R290 Natural Refrigerant (GWP=3)

R290 (propane) is a 100% natural refrigerant with near-zero global warming potential (GWP=3) and zero ozone depletion potential. It is one of the most environmentally responsible refrigerants available and is future-proofed against regulatory changes.
