Hot Water Heat Pumps
Energy-efficient hot water solutions that can reduce your water heating costs by up to 70%. A smart investment for your home and the environment.
The Smart Way to Heat Your Water
Hot water heating typically accounts for around 30% of a household's energy bill. A hot water heat pump can dramatically reduce this cost by using ambient air to heat your water, making it one of the most energy-efficient water heating options available.
How Hot Water Heat Pumps Work
Hot water heat pumps work similarly to reverse-cycle air conditioners. They extract heat from the surrounding air and use it to heat water stored in an insulated tank. Because they move heat rather than generate it, they can produce up to 3-4 units of heat energy for every unit of electrical energy consumed.
- Extracts heat from ambient air, even in cooler temperatures
- Uses a refrigerant cycle to concentrate and transfer heat
- Stores hot water in an insulated cylinder for use throughout the day
- Works efficiently year-round in Canterbury's climate
