Pipelife Inova Indoor Heat Pump  

Combining Innovation, Efficiency and Reliability for Modern Living!

Combining Innovation, Efficiency and Reliability for Modern Living!

The Pipelife Inova is a fully indoor R290 (propane) heat pump designed specifically for the Irish apartment market. It delivers an efficient, compact, and future-ready heating solution that responds to evolving regulations, space constraints, and sustainability demands.

Unlike traditional systems, the entire unit is installed inside the apartment—no outdoor unit, no balcony equipment, and no external wall mounting required—with safety features built for indoor use from the outset.

Key Features

  • Fully indoor solution – eliminates outdoor units and balcony clutter
  • Compact footprint – fits within 800mm x 800mm
  • Flexible positioning – can be located up to 10m from an external wall with no performance loss
  • Ducting options – 150mm round or 220mm x 90mm flat
  • 3.2kW capacity – suitable for most new-build apartments
  • High water temperatures – up to 75°C for heating and hot water
  • 200L pre-plumbed cylinder included
  • App-enabled – remote access and control
  • Compatible systems – underfloor heating or radiators
  • Fully compliant – meets Part L & Part F regulation

Designed for Modern Apartment Living

The Inova system was developed to address several key challenges:

  • Changing F-Gas regulations and shift to lower-impact refrigerants
  • Increasing apartment density and space constraints
  • Demand for simpler, more efficient building services

By using R290 refrigerant, the system future-proofs developments while maintaining high performance.

Installation & Design Benefits

  • Greater layout flexibility – unit location is not tied to external walls
  • Standalone operation – no need to integrate with ventilation systems
  • Reduced energy risk – avoids over-ventilation seen in some alternative systems
  • Decentralised solution – one unit per apartment

The system is also ideal for modern methods of construction (MMC) and modular builds, allowing pre-installation off-site to improve quality and reduce build time. 

Performance & Compliance

  • EcoDesign tested (EN14825 & EN16147)
  • Supports Part L compliance, often without requiring PV
  • Designed to meet heating and hot water demands for most Irish apartments

Performance will still depend on individual building characteristics such as insulation and airtightness.

Why It Stands Out

The Pipelife Inova is built around real-world apartment challenges—focusing on:

  • Simplicity of design and installation
  • Space efficiency
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Long-term energy performance

It offers developers a flexible, low-carbon solution that aligns with modern construction and sustainability goals.

Support & Expertise

Pipelife provides full project support, including:

  • Design guidance
  • Technical assistance
  • On-site support
  • Design indemnity and product liability cover

Built with the future in mind

The Pipelife Inova is a fully indoor heat pump designed specifically for modern apartment living, eliminating the need for outdoor units while delivering strong performance within a compact footprint. Engineered with simplicity at its core, the system is quick to design, easy to install, and operates independently of complex ventilation systems—giving greater flexibility while reducing energy inefficiencies.

Ideal for Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), Inova can be pre-installed within off-site modular builds, improving quality, reducing installation time, and simplifying commissioning on site.

Designed around the practical realities of the Irish apartment market, Inova combines compliance, compact design, ease of installation, and long-term efficiency into one future-ready solution.
