How Hot Water Heat Pumps Work
Hot water heat pumps work by taking ambient air and using it to heat your hot water. Air is drawn into the system and the heat is transferred into a refrigerant, which is then compressed to increase its temperature. That heat is passed into the water in your cylinder. The process repeats to keep your hot water consistently heated. Because the system is moving heat rather than generating it, it uses much less electricity than a standard cylinder.
This means
- Less electricity is needed to heat your water
- Energy is used more efficiently
- You still get reliable hot water for everyday use
System Options
There are two main types of hot water heat pump systems, Integrated and Split systems.
Gas Right can advise the best option based on your home and layout.
Integrated Systems
A single outdoor unit that combines the heat pump and cylinder. These are often simpler to install and work well where outdoor space is available.
Split Systems
A separate outdoor unit and hot water cylinder, offering more flexibility in how and where the system is installed. This can be useful when working with existing setups.
