Rinnai Enviroflo 265L Heat Pump Hot Water System
The Rinnai Enviroflo 265L is a current integrated heat pump hot water system combining a 265-litre storage cylinder, R290 refrigerant, built-in Wi-Fi, solar-PV compatibility and an electric boost element in one freestanding appliance.
The current model code is EHPG265VMT. Rinnai sizes the unit for households of up to five people, with a guide of two bathrooms and four bedrooms.
It is supplied with a 15A plug and can also be hardwired where the electrical installation is suitable. The manufacturer lists a maximum rated current of 13.5A.
The system can be ordered as supply only where available, or considered for supplied-and-installed packages in eligible Brisbane and Gold Coast service areas subject to product availability, site suitability and installation requirements.
What Is the Rinnai Enviroflo 265L?
The Enviroflo 265L is an all-in-one electric heat pump water heater that uses thermal energy from the surrounding air to heat water stored in its cylinder.
Instead of depending entirely on an electric resistance element, the refrigeration system transfers ambient heat into the stored water. An inbuilt electric element is available to support heating when required.
Rinnai currently lists the EHPG265VMT as a current product and identifies it as exclusive to Tradelink. Installed Today supply availability should therefore be confirmed against the applicable supply channel before accepting an order.
How Many People Does the Rinnai Enviroflo 265L Suit?
Rinnai's current sizing guide lists the 265L model for up to five people, with a guide of up to two bathrooms and four bedrooms.
Family Homes
The 265L storage volume provides a practical family-sized hot-water reserve for households that fit within the manufacturer's usage assumptions.
Electric Storage Replacement
The integrated design can suit properties moving from conventional electric storage to heat-pump hot water where the site has appropriate space, drainage and electrical supply.
Higher Daily Demand
The 265L tank offers more stored water than compact heat-pump models, while remaining smaller than many 300L-plus systems.
Household sizing is a guide rather than a guarantee. Shower duration, bath use, fixture flow rates and concentrated periods of hot-water use can materially change the required storage capacity.
Rinnai Enviroflo 265L Key Details
How Efficient Is the Rinnai Enviroflo 265L?
Rinnai states that the Enviroflo 265L can use more than 70% less energy than a standard electric water heater of the same capacity under the manufacturer's stated comparison conditions.
That claim is based on peak winter load in climate Zones 3 and 4 using AS/NZS4234 modelling.
It should not be read as a guaranteed household bill saving. Actual energy use depends on climate, hot-water demand, electricity tariff, operating mode, incoming water temperature and the water heater being replaced.
Rinnai's technical data lists a COP of 8.5 at a test point of 32.6°C ambient temperature and 21.1°C incoming cold water.

What Refrigerant Does the Enviroflo 265L Use?
The current EHPG265VMT uses 395g of R290 refrigerant.
Rinnai lists R290 with an ultra-low manufacturer-stated Global Warming Potential of approximately 0.02.
R290 is flammable, so the unit must be installed and serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements and applicable standards.
Refrigeration-system work should only be performed by suitably qualified personnel.
How Cold Can the Enviroflo 265L Operate?
Rinnai specifies heat-pump operation from approximately -7°C to 45°C ambient temperature.
The electric element can operate beyond the normal heat-pump temperature limits where heating support is required.
The unit also incorporates an anti-frost function intended to protect the evaporator during colder operating conditions.
What Operating Modes Does the Enviroflo 265L Have?
Rinnai lists five operating modes:
Standard
Normal operating mode using the system's programmed controls to manage hot-water heating.
ECO
Energy-focused operation intended to favour efficient heat-pump use.
Hybrid
Allows the heat-pump system and electric support to work according to the control strategy for increased hot-water availability.
Electric
Uses electric heating where the selected operating situation calls for element operation.
Vacation
Provides a mode intended for periods where normal household hot-water demand is temporarily reduced.
The exact operating logic is controlled by the appliance. Mode selection should follow the current Rinnai operating instructions rather than assumptions based on the mode name alone.
Does the Rinnai Enviroflo 265L Have Wi-Fi?
Yes. The EHPG265VMT has a built-in Wi-Fi module and Rinnai currently specifies control through the third-party SmartLife App.
Rinnai also lists compatible voice-control capability through the SmartLife platform.
App functionality is optional and depends on suitable network coverage, compatible devices and continued availability of the third-party service.
Can the Enviroflo 265L Work With Solar PV?
Rinnai states that the Enviroflo 265L is solar-PV compatible and can be networked with solar PV systems.
The system can also be scheduled to run during selected periods, which may allow water heating to be aligned with expected daytime solar production.
Can the Enviroflo 265L Run During Off-Peak Periods?
Rinnai states that the system has an option to operate during off-peak periods where the electricity arrangement is suitable.
Scheduled operation may help shift water heating into lower-cost periods where the property has an appropriate electricity tariff.
What Electrical Supply Does the Enviroflo 265L Need?
The EHPG265VMT is supplied with a 15 amp plug and Rinnai lists a maximum rated current of 13.5A.
The manufacturer also states that the unit can be hardwired where that installation arrangement is appropriate.
- 220–240V AC / 50Hz supply
- Maximum rated current 13.5A
- Factory-supplied 15A plug
- Hardwired installation option available
- Electrical supply must suit the appliance
- Electrical work by appropriately licensed trades
Does the Enviroflo 265L Have an Electric Boost Element?
Yes. Rinnai lists a 2.4kW factory-wired electric element.
The refrigeration module is listed at 1.1kW input, with a total rated system input of 3.3kW.
The element provides additional heating capability when required rather than forcing the system to rely solely on the refrigeration cycle in every operating condition.
What Is the Auto Disinfection Function?
Rinnai includes an automatic disinfection function within the appliance control system.
The manufacturer describes this feature as intended to reduce the potential growth of Legionella by periodically managing stored-water temperature.
This feature does not remove the need for correct plumbing installation, temperature control and ongoing system maintenance.
What Happens After a Power Outage?
The Enviroflo 265L includes an auto-restart function.
Rinnai states that the unit can automatically restart once electrical power is restored after an outage.
Normal recovery time after restoration still depends on stored-water temperature, ambient conditions and the selected operating mode.
How Loud Is the Rinnai Enviroflo 265L?
Rinnai lists a sound level of 46 dB(A).
The perceived sound at a property can differ from the published figure because walls, fences, corners and hard surfaces can reflect operating noise.
The installation location should therefore account for bedrooms, neighbouring windows and other noise-sensitive positions.
How Large and Heavy Is the Enviroflo 265L?
The unit is approximately 1933mm high x 640mm diameter.
It weighs approximately 118kg empty and approximately 383kg when filled.
Delivery access and the final supporting surface should therefore be assessed before installation.
- Check gate and side-access width
- Check stairs and steep access
- Allow suitable service access
- Provide a stable installation base
- Allow unobstructed heat-pump airflow
- Keep the unit accessible for future maintenance
Why Does Heat Pump Airflow Matter?
The Enviroflo extracts heat from the surrounding air, so its air inlet and discharge must remain unobstructed.
Poor positioning around walls, fences, vegetation or enclosed spaces can reduce airflow and affect heating performance, recovery time and operating sound.
The installation location should meet the clearances and airflow requirements in the current model-specific Rinnai installation manual.
Does the Enviroflo 265L Need Drainage?
Yes. Heat-pump operation creates condensate as moisture in the surrounding air condenses at the refrigeration system.
The installation needs a suitable condensate drainage path as well as compliant drainage for the PTR valve and any other relief or expansion valves in the plumbing arrangement.
Drainage requirements should be checked before ordering, particularly where the heat pump is replacing an older electric storage heater that did not previously require a condensate connection.
What Water Pressure Requirements Apply?
Rinnai supplies the Enviroflo 265L with a PTR valve rated at 1000 kPa / 10kW.
| Plumbing Arrangement | Manufacturer Requirement |
|---|---|
| Expansion Control Valve Fitted | Fit a pressure-limiting valve where mains pressure exceeds 680 kPa |
| No Expansion Control Valve | Fit a pressure-limiting valve where mains pressure exceeds 800 kPa |
| Recommended PLV Rating | 500 kPa |
The final valve arrangement depends on mains pressure, local plumbing requirements and the existing installation.
