Mixergy 120L R290 iHP Integrated Heat Pump Cylinder

The Mixergy 120 Litre R290 iHP Integrated Heat Pump Cylinder is a compact, smart unvented hot water cylinder with an integrated R290 refrigerant heat pump, delivering highly efficient, low‑carbon hot water for all‑electric homes and apartments.

Product Description

The Mixergy iHP X 120L unit combines a Duplex stainless steel cylinder with a top‑mounted, modular air‑to‑water heat pump head. Using patented top‑down stratified heating, it delivers usable hot water in under 30 minutes while using around three times less electricity than a standard direct electric cylinder. The system connects to the Mixergy app for machine‑learning schedules, tariff integration and live hot water level indication.

Key Features

• Integrated R290 heat pump: Air‑to‑water heat pump built into the cylinder head, no external heat pump unit required.
• 3x more efficient: Coefficient of performance (CoP) around 3.4, significantly reducing running costs vs direct electric cylinders.
• Rapid hot water: Top‑down heating provides usable hot water in under 30 minutes, up to 10x faster than conventional integrated heat pump cylinders.
• Smart control: Mixergy app with machine learning, smart scheduling, usage insights and support for time‑of‑use tariffs.
• Built to last: 25‑year cylinder warranty and 5‑year heat pump head warranty (typical Mixergy terms).
• Compact and modular: Cylinder and head supplied as two pieces for easier handling and installation, suitable for retrofits and new builds.
