- It comes with a warranty and after sales service.
- These hot water systems are strong and will last with external and internal marine grade stainless steel. And we think they look pretty stylish too.
What is a heat pump, how do they work and why are they so energy efficient?
A heat pump uses renewable energy, absorbing heat from the surrounding air to heat your water without the need for solar panels, batteries and inverters. Also referred to as ‘air-source heat pumps’, these systems are more efficient than conventional water heaters despite operating using electricity. They can save money and energy while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
How do heat pump hot water systems work?
A heat pump system works by using a heat exchange system.
- Outside air is pulled into the heat pump with a fan into the evaporator which contains a special refrigerant stored in the piping.
- The warm air turns the refrigerant from liquid to gas.
- A compressor pumps the refrigerant gas through a valve which compresses it. The result of this process is heat generation.
- A heat exchanger moves the heat from the gas pipes to a water storage tank.
If you install a heat pump at your property, you will have purchased an energy-efficient, environmentally friendly product. These are easy to install and connect to your existing hot water plumbing.
