The AmbiPower® 280e is a Low GWP (Global Warming Potential) R290 refrigerant 280 litre Heat Pump that is a great replacement for an electric water heater. AmbiPower® 280e is an energy-efficient product, with a high Coefficient of Performance (COP) of 5.2⌃. With its advanced wrap-around microchannel heating technology for uniform and faster water heating the AmbiPower® 280e is suitable for areas that have harsh water conditions and cold climates. The AmbiPower® 280e Heat Pump has been designed and tested to withstand NZ weather conditions, with:

  • Enamel-lined water tank to reduce the risk of corrosion.
  • Side fan design provides maximum airflow and protects from the rain.
  • Durable outer shell in painted sheet metal design with Aluminium top cover to reduce corrosion and withstand harsh weather conditions.

Save over 70% on your water heating energy consumption compared to an electric water heater.*

  • Works day and night 
  • Suitable for cold and frost climates with an operating range from -6°C to +43°C
  • Suitable for harsh water conditions
  • 2.4 kW backup element to provide hot water in very cold conditions
  • User-friendly LED touchscreen controller provides optimum visibility of product performance information
  • Suitable for households of up to 6 people
  • 7-year cylinder warranty

⌃ COP performance specifications according to standard AS/NZS5125 – a COP of 5.2 was measured under test conditions with an ambient air temperature of 19°C over the entire heat-up process.

* Water heating energy savings of over 70% is from the analysis required by Standard AS/NZS 4234:2008 and is based on the TRNSYS simulation model.
