Ease of installation as a heat pump uses similar connections as an electric hot water system with similar footprint
Locally made and supported
Digital connectivity via app and unit controller
70% more efficient than a standard electric storage, can reduce your running costs
Less harmful to the environment than alternate hot water solutions
R290 refrigerant has a low GWP
Tend to be quite heavy
Sufficient space is required around the heat pump unit
Hot water is not unlimited and will need time to recover if the tank is drained
Higher upfront costs
Always use a licensed plumber when installing a hot water system.
Annual energy savings of up to 69.3% (200THC25) and 70.7% (300THC25) are based on TRNSYS simulation modelling approved by the VEU and ESS program using a medium load in Zone 3 and apply when replacing a reference electric water heater as defined in AS/NZS 4234:2021

The innovative Thermann R290 Integrated Heat pump is the ultimate hot water system. With a unit controller and easy-to-use app connectivity, plus a back-up heating element, it’s perfect for all Australian households. Designed and built in Australia for Australian conditions, the Thermann Integrated Heat Pump extracts heat from ambient air and transfers it to the water. Via the app, you can schedule heating or prevent heating while on holidays, all to reduce running costs. Plus, receive notifications on your mobile device, notifying you when your unit needs servicing.
Choose from 4 operating modes:
Yes, the heat pump can operate in a temperature range between – 6°C to 45°C. Outside of this range, an electric element in the water heater will automatically take over heating to heat the water to 60°C.
There are a number of reasons why you can’t connect, the primary check points are listed below. Please ensure;
You’ll need a secondary device which will also need to be set-up with a Smart Life app account. You can then share the primary device with the secondary one via email or SMS. Refer to the App set-up and configuration video.
Yes, a hotspot can be used to connect to the water heater. However, this is only advised for establishing temporary connections like for example, forcing the heater to rescue mode in absence of a permanent Wi-Fi connection. The connection will fail as soon as the hot spot is turned off or the device creating the hotspot moves away from the water heater.
The water heater can connect to a 5G modem as long as it can create a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. The water heater cannot connect to a Wi-Fi network with only the 5GHz bandwidth. Similarly, the water heater can only connect to a Wi-Fi router having a 2.4GHz band.
The water heater will operate without Wi-Fi, and most functions are available through the controller. To connect to the app, you may need to install a Wi-Fi booster to extend the signal to reach the water heater.
No. The water heater controller comes set in ECO mode, which means once it’s commissioned and power is switched on it will work to heat water to 60ºC. You can use the controller on the front of the water heater to change modes and settings.
The element will not operate automatically, unless in an appropriate mode e.g. ECO mode, where it will only turn on in certain ambient conditions (less than -6ºC, and greater than 45ºC) if heating is required.
The heat pump does not have an excess PV input function. Whilst not directly connected to your PV system, the heat pump can be scheduled to work when the PV system is generating power e.g. between 10am and 4pm.
