The Becker & Wolf BWHP100WMH134 is a 100-litre, wall-mounted horizontal, all-in-one hot water heat pump for small households. At just 470 mm in diameter and 1,180 mm long, the horizontal layout lets the unit lie on its wall instead of standing tall, which helps where headroom or vertical space is limited. It is factory-tested and plug-and-play ready.
It uses R134a refrigerant, carries an A+ ErP energy class with an EN 16147 COP of 2.942, and runs at a rated 38 dB(A). A 2 kW electric element backs up the heat pump, the Becker & Wolf app gives remote access, and a G3 unvented kit is supplied. As an all-in-one unit it needs no outdoor unit and no refrigerant pipework, so installation focuses on water, electrical and condensate connections.

Rated heating capacity
Unvented hot water: competent installation required
This is a mains-pressure (unvented) storage system. Installation, commissioning and the safety discharge arrangements must follow Building Regulations Part G3 and be carried out by a suitably qualified G3-competent installer. Part G requires a potable expansion vessel and a tundish in the system, fitted by the installer. Follow the manufacturer's installation manual for mounting, clearances and connections.
Hot water only: not a space heating replacement
This unit heats domestic hot water only and does not provide central heating. It replaces gas or direct-electric hot water production; keep a separate heat source for space heating.
Space, weight and electrical supply
The unit measures 470 mm diameter x 1,180 mm and weighs 50 kg net (54 kg gross), so confirm the wall and brackets can carry the filled weight of the tank. It is non-ducted and draws 180 m³/h of room air, with a heat pump working range of -7 °C to +43 °C ambient. Supply is 220–240 V, 1-phase, 50 Hz with a maximum current of 11.4 A. Plan a condensate drain, and mount the unit horizontally only, as designed.
R134a model: check the refrigerant against your priorities
This is the R134a model in the range, with a CO2 equivalent of 0.4004 t and a GWP of 1,430. The R290 wall-mounted models use a refrigerant with a GWP of 3. Choose this unit when the horizontal layout and low noise are what your installation needs.
What is supplied
The unit ships with a G3 unvented safety kit and the Becker & Wolf Wi-Fi module for app connection. Product barcode (EAN): 5061085070093.
Key features
Horizontal wall-mounted layout
The only model in the range designed to lie on its side: 470 mm diameter x 1,180 mm long at 50 kg, for places where a tall vertical unit will not fit.
Quiet at 38 dB(A)
Rated at just 38 dB(A), against 48 dB(A) for the R290 models in the range, so it suits flats and quiet utility spaces.
All-in-one design
Compressor, fan, heat exchanger and tank are integrated in one unit, with no outdoor unit and no refrigerant pipework between components.
Low running power
A rated power input of just 169 W and 0.8 A from the heat pump, with an A+ ErP class and EN 16147 efficiency of 125.4 %.
2 kW electric backup
An integrated 2 kW auxiliary electric heater supports the heat pump so hot water stays available when demand is high or conditions are cold.
Wi-Fi app and G3 kit
Works with the Becker & Wolf app for remote access, and ships with a G3 unvented kit for a mains-pressure connection.

Frequently asked questions
Why choose the horizontal model?
The horizontal layout suits installations where a tall vertical cylinder will not fit. At 470 mm diameter x 1,180 mm, it is the only model in the Becker & Wolf range designed to lie on its side, so mount it horizontally only, as designed.
What is the difference between R134a and R290?
R134a is a non-flammable refrigerant with a GWP of 1,430. R290 (propane) has a GWP of 3 but is flammable. This horizontal model uses R134a; the vertical wall-mounted and floor-standing models use R290.
Does it need an outdoor unit?
No. This is an all-in-one unit, so there is no outdoor unit and no refrigerant pipework between components. It is non-ducted and takes in room air at 180 m³/h.
Can it replace my boiler?
It replaces gas or direct-electric hot water production only. It does not provide space heating, so a separate heat source is still needed for central heating.
What temperatures does it work in?
The working ambient range is -7 °C to +43 °C, and the default water temperature is 55 °C. The 2 kW auxiliary electric heater provides backup support.
Is a G3 kit included, and who can install it?
Yes, it is supplied with a G3 unvented kit. As an unvented system, it must be installed and commissioned by a G3-competent installer in line with Building Regulations Part G3, with a potable expansion vessel and tundish in the system.
Is this the right size for my household?
As a guide, 100 litres with an M tapping cycle suits small households. Peak demand matters more than the average, so size for your busiest day.
Can I control it remotely?
Yes. The unit works with the Becker & Wolf app to allow remote access, and the Wi-Fi module is supplied with it.
