This Heat Pump changes EVERYTHING | R290 Heat Pump

In this video we talk about R290 air to water heat pumps and why these are a revolutionary technology. Currently as of the filming of this video (January 2024) there are not R290 heat pumps available for residential applications in the United States, however these heat pumps should be coming to the US market soon. This is partly due to pressure from refrigerant phaseouts as well as a desire for higher efficiency systems with better COP ratings that can also perform well in extremely cold climates. Watch this video for more information on how these revolutionary heat pumps are going to change everything!

US is behind the curve as usual when it comes to home construction tech. I hope we can get r290 approved asap

[gregh]

I've run a propane and isobutane mixture in my car a/c for decades. It runs at lower pressures than even r12 so its was great for old leaky/creaky r12 systems on their last leg. I got better mpg too. It was illegal to retrofit old r12 systems in the usa and probably still is. In the hvac forums i got a lot of guff with the old timer r12 techs saying that its a mobile barbecue that would instantly incinerate bus loads of children with my evil gas. I've moved to japan and have been researching it here. I found a Daikin webpage from 2022 talking about new r290 residential units air to air heat pump being available so this will be my first choice for my new house install

In Australia ive been installing r290 monibloc hot water units for a few years now and i can say with confidence that they just work!
We even have r32 pool heating heat pumps that work well to heat pools

[StevenCampsOut]

Fed up with the local gas company in Missouri. Hurry Up R290!

[Joey-fsro]

Propane was being used in the 1800s and early 1900s for AC systems. We are just now making a complete circle.

[ericb.]

I live in HENDERSON, NEVADA. Wish your company serviced the Las Vegas valley! My old AC unit has had two parts replacements in two years at a total cost of over $700. MY NEXT UNIT WILL BE AN AIR-TO-AIR HEAT PUMP.

[yolo_burrito]

This is great. Can you tell us who regulates (restricts) R290 and R600 so we can reach out and tell them how we feel?

[MattProud]

What's your opinion on using hydronic for an AHU central air retrofit (Minnesota)? Would it also adequately satisfy cooling in the summer (hot and muggy)?

[EngineerMikeF]

I'm 100% sure I'll need to replace my AC in the next 2-5 years, so this is great news, can't wait.

[brandons]

i have an old r22 unit im holding together as long as i can waiting for r290 i really think it will change a lot of things. could you do a video on how the mono block would interface hydraulicly with multiple systems. like could it do a water heater and a furnace/AC on the same mono block?

[randyclement]

I wonder how the Propane refrigerant compares to the C02 refrigerant option used in the SANC0 units from Japan? Also, how does the propane function at -30 and lower. I hope the glycol lines moving from the inside to the outside and the heat from the compressor keep it the propane functional. Seems like propane at -20C or lower in both tanks and vehicles can be a struggle to maintain functioning pressure. I will be looking for the 290 options! Thanks from Canada

[hijinks]

Wonder if this is a good use for pool heaters. The current ones have a hard time getting water above the upper 90s so you need gas still if you have a spa attached

[Primo-dcqq]

Do you believe these upcoming monoblock systems will also be used to replace the furnaces from hydronic heating/hot water setups using air handlers? Currently have an old Buderus that heats up coils in the air handler to give us heat (2 zones/air handlers), as well as supplies our domestic hot water. Very efficient and happy with it, but the paired A/C units are 20 years old and inefficient. I'm hoping these monoblocks fit the bill for disconnecting the Buderus and old A/C compressors. Thoughts? And great vids

[dougchatch]

AH what a godsend! I have been looking at going to a mini-split system mainly for AC but the only utility rebate is for installing enough of these to heat the entire home and only the maximum rebate if you pull out ALL your natural gas heating source(s). I have an 80k BTU high efficiency boiler that has been running like a champ (YEA Munchkin!), and I am not necessarily comfortable with an air-source heat pump heating all of my house in an artic blast cold snap (-10 to -20f), that though are more rare (winter sucks now especially as a skier), still can happen. Can these also be used with air handlers in the home like a mini-split for cooling in the summer? If so GAME CHANGER! Who are the companies making these and (there always has to be a catch), what are the potential downsides?

[wings]

How will this handle cooling? Or is this going to be dedicated to heating only?

[CoolMusicToMyEars]

I'm in UK 🇬🇧 R290 is available I wait to go Off-Grid then drive heatpump via Solar PV & Batteries storage

[bjnslc]

We have a gas boiler with hot water radiators in our 100+ year old house in Salt Lake. I want to get off natural gas, so a heat pump looks like an attractive high efficiency option. Is it just national code that needs updating, or do local codes also have to be revised? In this case you're only talking about a one way heat pump cycle. Can a monobloc also provide chilled water for some sort of attic AC air handler for an old house retrofit?

[imadish]

I'm a homeowner looking to replace my (knock on wood) working 50 y/o electric furnace and hwh. Think I should try to wait or are we a long way off? Will the R290s be competitively priced or have a luxury tag because they are new (in USA)? Thank you. Also, primary advantage just radiant heating? Or a good option for just heating/cooling/domestic hw?

[jeanlabrek]

Which brands use R290 where available, at what price range in north America.

[manishshukla]

Can this also be used in extreme heat like in 40°C to 48°C to cool down house.
