YGHP R290 Heat Pump Cylinder – The Future of Hot Water, Today

If you’re looking for a smarter, greener, and more efficient way to heat your water, the YGHP R290 Heat Pump Cylinder delivers on every level. Designed with cutting-edge technology and built for modern homes, this all-in-one system combines powerful performance with exceptional energy savings—making it a standout choice for both homeowners and installers.

Powerful Efficiency That Cuts Energy Bills

At the heart of the YGHP cylinder is advanced heat pump technology that captures free energy from the air and converts it into hot water. With a COP of up to 3.5, it produces over three times more energy than it consumes—dramatically reducing running costs compared to traditional electric systems .

And with low power input (as little as 320W for the heat pump), it’s engineered for efficiency without compromising performance.

Eco-Friendly with Ultra-Low Environmental Impact

Using R290 (propane) refrigerant, this system is designed for the future. With ultra-low Global Warming Potential (GWP) and natural refrigerant properties, it’s one of the most environmentally responsible hot water solutions available today .

High Performance, Reliable Hot Water

Whether it’s a busy household or a high-demand setting, the YGHP cylinder delivers:

Up to 234 litres of usable hot water at 50°C

Fast heat-up times (as low as ~6–7 hours depending on conditions)

Operating range from -7°C to 45°C, ensuring year-round performance

This means consistent, reliable hot water—whatever the weather.

R290 (propane) is ideal within heat pumps because it is highly efficient and has a very low environmental impact compared to traditional refrigerants.

200-litre hot water storage  is ideal solution for a family home with typical occupancy, offering a reliable and efficient supply of hot water for daily use. With sufficient capacity to meet the needs of multiple occupants, it can comfortably support activities such as showering, bathing, dishwashing, and laundry without frequent shortages.

This size of tank strikes a practical balance between storage capacity and energy efficiency. It is large enough to handle peak demand periods—such as mornings and evenings—while avoiding the excessive energy consumption associated with oversized systems.

Large LCD displays helps efficiently set the heat pump which can also be controlled by inbuilt timer.

YGHP ducting kit includes 2 meter of straight length ducting, 2 x 90 degree bends and couplers to connect directly to heat pump cylinders. Additional length and bends are available as optional extra.

Expanded Polystyrene ducting for the YGHP heat pump cylinder is a lightweight, high-performance insulation solution designed to improve the efficiency of hot water systems. It is typically used to encase or direct airflow around the cylinder and associated pipework, helping to minimise heat loss and maintain consistent temperatures.

This heat pump comes with a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
