Rheem launches Centurion HVAC system for MEA region
DUBAI, UAE, 8 September 2025: Rheem Middle East launched the Rheem Centurion, which the company described as a new HVAC system designed to provide integrated hot water production, energy efficiency and smart operation for projects across the MEA region.
According to Rheem Middle East, the system has been developed to address the region’s growing demand for energy-efficient technologies across residential, commercial and hospitality sectors. The company said Rheem Centurion is engineered to deliver up to 84% energy savings by recycling waste heat expelled by air conditioning units to simultaneously produce hot water and cool indoor spaces.
The company said the dual-function system is aligned with MEA sustainability targets and the evolving need for smarter, more efficient infrastructure in light of continued urbanisation and construction growth across the region. It is designed to operate efficiently throughout the year, with a view to reducing both energy costs and carbon emissions, Rheem Middle East said.
The system, Rheem Middle East said, is suitable for various building types and can heat water up to 70 degrees C, making it applicable for high-demand environments such as hotels, resorts, hospitals and multi-family developments. The company said a smart controller allows users to select among cooling, heating or simultaneous operation modes. Rheem Middle East said the system offers whisper-quiet performance for enhanced indoor comfort.
Speaking about the launch, Brian Hempenstall, Vice President and General Manager, Rheem Middle East, said: “Rheem Centurion is more than a product launch; it represents a significant step forward for the built environment in this region. By combining air conditioning and hot water generation in a single, highly efficient system, we are helping developers, hoteliers and homeowners meet today’s demands while preparing for tomorrow’s sustainability standards. At Rheem, our mission is to deliver comfort without compromise – comfort that is smarter, cleaner and built for the future of the Middle East and Africa.”
