Launch of the 100% Range: a new generation of Air/Air heat pumps

In a context of increasingly extreme climate variations, this range is not a response to a niche need. On the contrary, it embodies a universal response to a growing demand for sustainable thermal comfort, at a fair price. Accessible, comprehensive, and ultra-efficient, it marks a decisive step in the history of the brand, which has made the conscious choice to democratize a technology long reserved for the high-end.

A new generation of compressor for 100% constant performance

The heart of the innovation lies in a new generation of compressor, capable of reaching 160 Hz frequency (compared to 120 Hz until now). The result of nearly ten years of R&D with Heiwa's partner factories, this technological leap allows the heat pump to maintain 100% of its nominal power, even in extreme cold or heat—up to -12°C for heating and +43°C for air conditioning, i.e. 40 to 50% more energy performance than a standard heat pump.

But this technology doesn't stop there. It also offers:

• Increased responsiveness, to respond more quickly to cooling or heating needs
• A significant reduction in defrost cycles
• A more stable and pleasant indoor temperature
• And of course, better energy efficiency with a SCOP of 4,7 and a SEER of 9,2

Climate change is making extreme conditions increasingly common throughout France. The need for stability and thermal performance has become universal. However, air-to-air heat pumps currently on the market often perform well in either heating or cooling, but rarely both. This is why Heïwa designed the 100% range: a reliable response to today's climate requirements, ensuring performance and comfort in all circumstances. The extra-wide performance offered by the 100% range is therefore becoming a given: what was once reserved for an elite group is now becoming a new standard.

Another notable fact: maintaining power in cold conditions remains unprecedented on the market today. And yet, depending on the outdoor unit's exposure, reaching +43°C is no longer exceptional. This ability to operate fully in extreme conditions will gradually become a standard, and Heiwa's 100% range is already anticipating this.

For Franck Beauvarlet, Director of the Heiwa brand: "A conventional heat pump loses efficiency when temperatures drop or rise too high. The 100% range, on the other hand, doesn't let anything go. It guarantees total comfort—without surprises, all year round."

Unlike similar technologies often positioned as ultra-premium, Heiwa, true to its convictions, is committed to democratization. Thanks to this new compressor, the 100% range will make technology previously reserved for a privileged few accessible, while providing maximum reassurance to consumers.

“It’s an accessible technology, not a niche product,” adds the Brand Director.

A complete range, designed for all habitats

From its launch, the 100% range is available in 4 monosplits (from 2,5 to 7 kW) and 5 multisplits (from 2 to 4 indoor units). It is compatible with the new indoor unit 3, available in three colors: matte white, ribbed white, and the brand new matte black, a new color at Heiwa, which meets a growing demand for simple and elegant design on the market.

In terms of comfort, Hyoko 3 also incorporates the brand's latest innovations:

• Air purification (UV-C, cold plasma),
• Presence detection,
• Humidity management,
• Embedded intelligence to optimize energy savings (+10% per year),
• and above all: an exceptionally low noise level, up to 12 dB, ideal in living rooms or bedrooms.

An Air/Air solution popular with installers

For installers, particularly air conditioning specialists, who represent 80% of the Heiwa network, the 100% range represents a real opportunity for re-entry. Indeed, the range offers a simple, clear, and technically coherent alternative to Air/Water solutions, which are often complex to implement.

For Franck Beauvarlet, Director of the Heiwa brand: "It's an Air/Air solution that air conditioning engineers have mastered. Its accessibility now gives them the opportunity to formulate a relevant technical proposal, adapted to customer needs and easier to install."

This range allows them to regain control of a market segment, largely conquered in recent years by Air/Water heat pump installers, by providing a reliable solution, easy to install and simple to size, without compromising on quality... or on budget.

A new step in the development of the brand

Designed as a large-volume, universal product, the 100% range is a strategic pillar of Heiwa's development. It will enable the brand to establish a lasting presence in northern France and accelerate its European expansion starting in 2026 (Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain).

Finally, the “100%” logic does not stop there: from 2025, Heiwa plans to roll out the 100% concept to Air/Water heat pumps, thus unifying its offer around the same promise: 100% comfort, 100% performance, 100% accessibility.

For Franck Beauvarlet: "This launch is much more than a new product. It's a new milestone for Heiwa. A milestone that takes us from an accessible brand to a recognized technology player."
