Rheem Ambiheat & Affordable Housing

Rheem Ambiheat 270L: The affordable way to heat your home’s water

The groundbreaking Rheem Ambiheat 270L 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 Rheem Ambiheat – a heat pump water heater – utilises heat from the surrounding air. As there is always heat in the atmosphere which can be used, the Ambiheat provides a reliable, efficient, and sustainable way to reduce your water heating energy consumption that doesn’t rely on direct sunlight to operate.

As the Ambiheat extracts heat from the surrounding air as opposed to purely generating heat through gas or electricity, it boasts a Coefficient of Performance (COP) up to 4.5 times better than standard electric water heaters. In short, the COP is the ratio of how much useful heat the heat pump produces for water heating to the power input into the water heater. The higher the COP number, the more efficient the Heat Pump is. The Rheem Ambiheat’s remarkable COP of 4.5 means that it will save you up to 66% on your water heating energy consumption compared to an electric water heater – which means considerable savings for your household.

Beyond savings, the Rheem Ambiheat also provides an extremely reliable water heating solution. It features advanced wrap around microchannel heating technology for uniform and faster water heating, making it suitable for cold climates. The operating range is from -5°C to 45°C, so rain, hail, or shine, the Ambiheat is designed to deliver hot water to your household. With its durable top cover and vitreous enamel shell, the Ambiheat is also corrosion-resistant and will stand the test of time, no matter the conditions.

If you’re looking to lower your energy consumption, save on your household bills, and get the latest in hot water technology, the Rheem Ambiheat 270L is the obvious choice. For more information, reach out to our friendly team at 0800 657 336 or find more detailed information about the Ambiheat here
