About the Rheem Ambiheat HDc270 Heat Pump

The Rheem Ambiheat HDc270 is a smart, energy-efficient heat pump hot water system designed to use heat from the surrounding air to heat stored water.

Unlike a traditional solar hot water system, the Ambiheat does not rely on direct sunlight to heat water. Instead, it captures heat from ambient air and transfers that energy into the tank, making it a practical option where a roof-mounted solar hot water system may not be suitable.

The HDc270 model uses R513a refrigerant with a listed low global warming potential of 629, helping deliver a lower-impact refrigerant option compared with some older refrigerant types.

It is commonly suited to family homes, townhouses, rental properties and households wanting lower water heating energy use than a standard electric water heater.

Lower Energy Hot Water

The Rheem Ambiheat HDc270 is designed to reduce water heating energy use compared with a standard electric water heater.

Heat pump technology works by absorbing heat from the surrounding air and transferring that heat into the stored water. This allows the system to produce hot water efficiently without relying only on direct electric element heating.

Rheem states energy savings of up to 70% to 75% across selected zones when replacing an electric water heater under its stated conditions, with Zone 3 listed at up to 73%. Actual savings can vary depending on location, the system being replaced, hot water consumption, tariff setup, household usage and installation conditions.

R513a Low GWP Refrigerant

The Rheem Ambiheat HDc270 uses R513a refrigerant listed with a global warming potential of 629.

This gives customers a heat pump option with lower GWP refrigerant technology while still delivering reliable hot water performance for family homes and replacement installations.

Advanced Wraparound Microchannel Heating

The Ambiheat HDc270 uses advanced wraparound microchannel heating technology designed to support uniform and faster water heating.

This design helps transfer heat efficiently into the stored water and supports strong recovery performance for households with regular daily hot water demand.

Backup Element and Boost Support

The Rheem Ambiheat HDc270 includes a 2.4kW backup element for emergency heating and boost operation.

This can help support hot water recovery during higher-demand periods or when heat pump conditions are less favourable. It gives the system extra flexibility while still allowing the heat pump to do the main water heating work in normal operation.

Touch Screen LED Control

The Rheem Ambiheat HDc270 includes a user-friendly touch screen LED display with variable temperature control.

Control options include standard, vacation and emergency heating / boost modes. This gives households more control over how the system operates around daily routines, holidays and higher hot water demand periods.

Suitable for Cold and Harsh Conditions

The Rheem Ambiheat HDc270 is designed to operate across a broad climate range and is listed as suitable for cold climates from -5°C to 43°C+.

It is also listed as suitable for harsh water conditions, making it a practical heat pump option for a wider range of Australian homes where installation conditions and water quality need to be considered.

Government Incentives and STCs

The Rheem Ambiheat HDc270 may be eligible for government incentives where requirements are met.

Eligible heat pump hot water systems may qualify for Small-scale Technology Certificates and selected state-based programs such as VEECs and ESCs depending on product model, installation location, installer requirements, installation year and program rules.
