.: Heat Pumps

How Does It Work ?

Heat pumps heat your water by extracting the heat out of the surrounding air and transferring it to the water that flows through the device. A circulation pump, circulates the water from your geyser through the domestic heat pump, where an exchange of heat takes place.

How Does It Save Me Money ?

Where your normal geyser takes 4kw of electricity to generate 4kw of heat (a COP of 1), a high quality heat pump use only 1kw to generate 4kw of heat (a COP of 4). More technical info can be viewed by clicking here
