Heat Pump Hot Water

What is a heat pump hot water system?

While it may seem like a big leap to give up traditional alternative technologies like standard tank-based or instantaneous hot water services, there is now an option that goes toe-to-toe with the best – and packs a huge range of benefits:

• No gas: Gas hot water systems are a more efficient & affordable alternative to traditional electric hot water systems, but it can be subject to toxic & dangerous leaks. Browsing the impressive range of Adelaide heat pumps provides an even more efficient and much safer alternative.
• Less noise: A big drawback of heat pump hot water systems in their initial roll-out was the extra noise. But by using significantly less electricity than a standard unit, the low noise of both is now comparable.
• More efficiency: In a world that is reducing its reliance on limited and harmful fossil fuels, the heat pump hot water system uses meaningfully less power, produces fewer greenhouse gases, and drives down your rising bills.

Operating a little like a ‘fridge in reverse’, heat pump hot water is produced when this innovative technology extracts the heat energy from the air and transfers it into the water that comes out of your hot taps. And it works just as well when the air outside is cold in winter as it does when the temperatures are high – because there’s still a lot of energy in that cold air too!

Yes, they use electricity, but the heat pump hot water vs electric standard debate is settled: heat pumps use about three times less the power of a traditional heater, slashing your bills as well as your carbon footprint.
