Rheem Heat Pumps deliver hot water by efficiently utilising a free and abundant source of energy – the heat that is in the air around us. Refrigerant vapour compression technology enables the heat pump to intensify this heat, which is used to produce hot water. Rheem Heat Pumps are more efficient during warmer months, and will operate for less hours during the day than in colder months of the year.

Because Heat Pumps do not require solar collectors, they are perfect where roof space is limited. Additionally, since they utilise the same plumbing and electrical connections as an electric water heater, Heat Pumps are an ideal upgrade from a standard electric water heater.

Which system you choose will depend on where in Australia you live, which way your home faces and even the pitch of your roof. So it’s important to talk to your local Rheem Solar Specialist about the Rheem solar water heater that is ideal for you. And, your local Rheem Solar Specialist has all the latest information on the currently available Solar Incentives – ask them how much you can claim.

The Rheem MPi Series 325L Heat Pump is suitable for moderate – warm climates and average size families. The new MPi Series II Rheem Heat Pump utilises the latest environmental heating technology to efficiently heat water. Free, renewable heat energy is absorbed and processed through a refrigeration system, resulting in hot water using a third of the energy of an electric water heater. These are similar savings to a solar water heater, but without needing panels mounted on your roof.
