HONWO-R290 DHW HP for AU Features

HONWO R290 All-in-One Domestic Hot Water Heat Pump Water Heater for Australia combines eco-friendly R290 refrigerant (GWP = 3) with advanced DC inverter technology to deliver up to 75 °C domestic hot water at COPs up to 5.4, all within a compact monoblock design featuring 270 L or 320 L tanks, horizontal-airflow heat exchange, and whisper-quiet 45 dB(A) operation at 1 m. It offers full Wi-Fi & 4G smart control for real-time monitoring and remote diagnostics, helping installers save time with “water-pipe-only” installation and end users save up to 75 % on water-heating energy bills.

 

Key Features

Eco-Friendly & High-Efficiency Refrigerant

  • R290 natural refrigerant with an ultra-low GWP of 3 ensures minimal environmental impact and full compliance with Australian F-Gas regulations.

  • Achieves COPs up to 5.4 for significant energy savings, outperforming conventional electric and gas water heaters.

Monoblock, Space-Saving Design

  • All components—including compressor, heat exchanger, pump, and tank—are factory-assembled into a single indoor unit.

  • “Water-pipe-only” connections simplify installation and reduce labor by up to 50 % versus split systems.

Large Capacity Options

  • Available in 270 L and 320 L tanks to suit medium and large households or light-commercial B2B installations (e.g., multi-unit residential, small hotels).

2.4 Whisper-Quiet, Horizontal-Airflow Operation

  • Horizontal-airflow design uses side-mounted intake and exhaust channels, enabling a low sound pressure of 45 dB(A) at 1 m—quieter than a normal conversation.

2.5 Smart Monitoring & Remote Management

  • Integrated Wi-Fi & 4G connectivity enables real-time performance dashboards, automated fault alerts, firmware updates, and scheduling via smartphone.

Application Scenarios

  • Residential Complexes: Centralized DHW for apartments and townhouses.

  • Small Hotels & B&Bs: Reliable 75 °C hot water for guest services.

  • Commercial Fit-Outs: Retrofit for apartments and retail staff amenities.

  • Multi-Unit Developments: Space-saving indoor units for each dwelling.

How much does a heat pump water heater cost to run?
Typically AUD 100–300 per year, depending on usage and tariffs.
Around AUD 8–25/month, varying with household size and climate.
Around €8–€25/month, based on average European energy tariffs and usage patterns.
It extracts ambient heat via refrigerant, compresses it, and transfers it to water in the tank.
HPWHs are 2–3× more efficient, maintain larger hot-water volume, but have slower recovery than tankless systems.
HPWHs can save up to 75 % on water-heating energy costs compared to resistance heaters.
COP 5.3, with ErP ratings up to A++ (35 °C flow).
Look for high COP (> 5), low GWP refrigerant (R290), smart controls, and robust warranties.
Yes—a licensed HVAC/plumber is needed for water-pipe connection and commissioning.
Typical lifespan is 15+ years with annual maintenance.
