Designed with installers, to cut time on site.

  • Less to fit outside

    Anti-freeze kit and drain pan are integrated. A cone filter is built into the 30, 50 and 80 M units, and a Y-strainer kit into the 120 and 150 M units.

  • Easier to handle and open

    Grip recesses and strap passages on the outdoor unit, and an L-shaped panel that gives front and side access at once.

  • Quicker connections

    Tool-free quick connectors with locking clips, and lever terminal blocks for faster, safer wiring.

  • Guided commissioning

    The SET+ function takes you through commissioning step by step.

  • Remote service

    Ariston NET Pro gives remote access to connected systems, with AI-powered Active Care alerts before a fault becomes a callout.

  • Hybrid and PV ready

    Bus BridgeNet manages boilers, solar thermal and PV self-consumption alongside the heat pump.

Nimbus 5 for installers

The installation, professional and user manuals are sent with your confirmed order. Data sheets, the product fiche and the catalogue are on each product page now.

The refrigerant circuit is sealed at the factory, so no refrigerant handling is needed on site. You do need to follow the safety clearances around the outdoor unit set out in Ariston's installation manual. Ask the trade team if you have a question about a site.

Yes. Send the property details or your heat-loss figures and our design team can help choose the unit and cylinder for your quote.
