Split Heat Pump – 200L

You might already have two heat pumps in your home: your air conditioner and refrigerator. These appliances operate in a similar way to a hot water heat pump but in reverse. A hot water heat pump works by extracting ambient heat from the surrounding air and transferring it to the water in its storage tank. Since it concentrates existing heat rather than generating new heat, it can reduce annual hot water energy consumption by 50-80% compared to traditional electric-resistive systems.

The process begins when the system draws in ambient air. This air passes over a refrigerant, which absorbs the heat. The refrigerant is then compressed, increasing its temperature. That heat energy is then transferred to the water in the storage tank. Because the system concentrates and moves existing heat rather than producing new heat through electrical resistance, it uses far less energy to deliver the same hot water supply.

One of the most significant benefits of using a heat pump hot water system is its incredible energy efficiency. Traditional electric-resistive water heaters generate heat by passing an electric current through a heating element—a process that requires large amounts of energy. In contrast, heat pumps can reduce annual hot water energy consumption by 50-80% because they rely on the natural heat present in the air. This makes them an ideal solution for homeowners looking to cut energy costs while maintaining a consistent supply of hot water.
