An iStore heat pump utilizes R134a refrigerant gas. R134a is an environmentally conscious choice with a low Global Warming Potential (GWP), which refers to its reduced impact on climate change.

The advantages of using this refrigerant are numerous. First, the eco-friendly nature of this refrigerant helps achieve Australia’s goal of decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, especially those from hot water heating – a major contributor.

Second, the R134a coolant excels at moving heat helping the iStore heat pump use less energy. Finally, the R134a is widely used hence easy to find and costs less than other coolants. It is also very safe for people because it has no known toxins and is inflammable. This means it is safe for handling and causes no risk of fires or explosions, which is crucial for any heating system.
