Ritter Thermal Plus R290

Unlike traditional refrigerants, R290 boasts an incredibly low global warming potential (GWP) of just 3. This means switching to the Ritter R290 air-to-water heat pump significantly reduces your carbon footprint, contributing to a healthier planet for future generations. But R290’s benefits extend far beyond sustainability. R290 appliances with full inverter technology can maintain a high coefficient of performance (COP) in a wide range of applications and operational temperatures. Maintaining high COP is all about reduced electrical consumption and therefore lowering running costs.

But R290 isn’t just environmentally and economically sound; it’s also versatile. It seamlessly integrates into any hydronic heating system, providing powerful warmth through radiators and/ or underfloor heating. Additionally, it can generate hot water for your entire home without the need for electrical boosting, ensuring blissful showers and clean dishes without sacrificing sustainability.
