Efficient hot water and heating, even in extreme cold
The Midea Nature Series is a high-performance R290 hot water heat pump that delivers consistent hot water and home heating with a significantly reduced environmental footprint. Purpose-built for New Zealand conditions, it offers an ideal solution for those replacing traditional boilers with a modern, energy-efficient system.
This system delivers up to 80 °C hot water without the need for electric boosters, making it perfect for homes using radiators or legacy hot water cylinders. With A+++ energy efficiency ratings at both 35 °C and 55 °C flow temperatures, it provides excellent performance while helping to lower energy use and reduce power bills. Even in sub-zero conditions, the Nature Series holds its performance — delivering full heating capacity at -7 °C and continuing to operate efficiently down to -22 °C.
The system uses R290 refrigerant, a propane-based gas with a global warming potential (GWP) of just 3, dramatically lower than older refrigerants like R32 or R410A. Its environmental credentials make it a future-ready option for sustainable homes. Despite its powerful performance, the unit operates at just 32 dB(A) — quieter than most household appliances — making it suitable for residential areas with low noise tolerance.
This heat pump is an excellent fit for homeowners replacing gas or oil boilers, for retrofit projects needing high-temperature water, or for new builds seeking high-efficiency, low-carbon HVAC systems. It’s also a strong choice for projects focused on decarbonisation or meeting sustainability targets.
