According to Mitsubishi Electric, its Ecodan R290 heat pump is particularly green because it uses a refrigerant that has ‘low global warming potential’ and has a high coefficient of performance when in heating mode, making it more efficient.
It will function even in extreme conditions, as low as -15°C, and achieve high heating temperatures up to 75°C, similar to traditional gas boilers. Greater savings can be gained by integrating the system with solar PV panels, using an agile tariff, or storing energy by using a buffer tank.
