Heat Pumps — Hydronic

Air-source and ground-source heat pumps for hydronic heating, cooling and hot water. AHHAC is an authorised supplier of Maxa and Immergas for Australia.

A hydronic heat pump replaces the boiler in your hydronic system — driving the same network with all-electric, refrigerant-cycle efficiency. COP of 3.5–5.5 means every 1 kW of electricity becomes 3.5–5.5 kW of heat.

We're an authorised supplier of Maxa and Immergas (both Italy) — premium Italian-engineered units rated for Australian conditions. We also install Mitsubishi Ecodan, Daikin Altherma, and Bosch Compress.

FAQs

Common questions

What's the difference between Maxa i-290 and i-32V5?

i-290 uses R290 (propane) refrigerant — natural, GWP=3, highest efficiency, QLD Type B Gas approved. i-32V5 uses R32 — broader chassis range (11 sizes vs 3), GWP 675. Both are made in Italy with 7-year domestic warranty. We'll match to your project.

Will heat pumps work in Sydney/Melbourne winters?

Yes — Maxa heat pumps are tested down to -15°C ambient. Australian climates are well within operating range, including the Snowy region. Performance drops slightly in extreme cold but they continue to deliver heat reliably.

Heat pump or gas boiler — which to choose?

Heat pump if: you want all-electric (works with solar PV), want lowest running cost long-term, want integrated cooling. Gas boiler if: you have cheap gas, want fastest warm-up, want lowest install cost. We spec both options for comparison.
