Heat Pumps

Heat Pumps

Heat pump hot water systems operate by extracting ambient heat from the air and transferring it to heat the water storage tank. Unlike traditional electric or gas hot water systems, heat pumps require minimal energy consumption to operate, as they primarily rely on renewable thermal energy sources.

One of the primary reasons why heat pump hot water systems excel in energy efficiency is their ability to transfer rather than generate heat. According to the Australian Government’s Your Home website, heat pump hot water systems can be up to three times more energy-efficient compared to electric storage systems. This efficiency translates into significant reductions in energy bills and greenhouse gas emissions.

Heat Pumps have the storage cylinder located on the ground and the heat exchange either to the side or on-top of the storage tank. A heat pump is a little like a reverse refrigerator. It transfers the heat in the air outside of the unit to the water stored inside the heater through a heat exchange system. In the case of heat pumps, heat is a relative term as they will still work in very cold conditions at least -10 degrees Celsius, so it will still be generating hot water for you during winter nights.
