An air-source heat pump is an efficient and eco-friendly way of heating your home without the need for a traditional gas or electric heating system. If you want to reduce your current heating bills while doing your bit for the environment, then read on to find out how you can achieve this with an air source heat pump.
As Ireland accelerates towards a low-carbon future, R290 heat pumps have emerged as the most advanced and sustainable heating option for Irish homes. Among all available solutions, the Viessmann Vitocal R290 heat pump range stands out for its exceptional efficiency, low environmental impact, and suitability for both new builds and retrofit projects. Homeowners, installers, and specifiers searching for the most future-proof heat pump technology in Ireland increasingly rely on R290 systems for long-term performance and regulatory compliance.
The defining feature of an R290 heat pump is the use of propane (R290) as its refrigerant. Unlike synthetic refrigerants such as R410A or R32, R290 offers an extremely low Global Warming Potential (GWP ≈ 3). This places it far below the limits of upcoming F-Gas regulations, making it one of the most environmentally friendly refrigerants available today.
Key advantages of R290 heat pumps include:
Ultra-low GWP, future-proofing systems well beyond 2030
Higher efficiency, even in colder Irish climates
Flow temperatures up to 70 °C, ideal for retrofits with existing radiators
Improved operational performance and reduced running costs
Compliance with Ireland’s SEAI and Part L requirements
Because of these benefits, searches for R290 heat pumps in Ireland have grown rapidly—reflecting rising demand for heating systems that deliver comfort, sustainability, and long-term savings.
Viessmann is one of Europe’s most respected heating manufacturers, and its German-engineered Vitocal 150-A Standard R290 & Vitocal 150-A Compact heat pumps represent the next generation of air-to-water technology.
High flow temperatures (up to 70 °C)
Perfect for Irish retrofits where replacing radiators is not feasible.
Exceptional quiet operation
Designed for urban and suburban homes where low noise is essential.
OptiPerform smart technology
Continuous self-monitoring ensures maximum efficiency year-round.
Industry-leading COP and SCOP ratings

Viessmann’s adoption of R290 positions the brand at the forefront of Ireland’s transition to cleaner heating technologies.
Ireland’s climate—cool, humid, and variable—demands a system that performs consistently throughout the heating season. R290 heat pumps excel under these conditions due to their ability to deliver strong output even in low temperatures.
New builds meeting NZEB standards
Deep retrofits targeting long-term energy savings
Heating system upgrades aligned with SEAI grants
Developers transitioning away from fossil fuels
The combination of high temperature capability and improved efficiency makes R290 the most versatile refrigerant for modern heating systems in Ireland.
With Ireland moving rapidly towards decarbonisation targets and the phasing out of fossil-fuel boilers, R290 heat pumps are set to dominate the market. Viessmann’s Vitocal range delivers all the performance, stability, and environmental benefits required for Ireland’s heating needs—without compromise.
