Heating water uses about 21% of the energy in a typical Aussie home. Luckily, new technology has come along. Hot water heat pumps are a game changer! They’re energy-efficient and produce low emissions, which means they can save you a lot on your water heating bills.
What are hot water heat pump and how do they work?
Hot water heat pumps work similarly to refrigerators, but in reverse. Instead of pulling heat from inside a box and sending it into the surrounding room, they pull heat from the surrounding air and transfer it into a hot water cylinder to heat the water. The hot water is then stored in an insulated cylinder before being supplied to your home through pipes and valves. A thermostat controls the water temperature, allowing you to set your desired level in the heat pump hot water cylinder. This process is energy-efficient and helps reduce electricity costs.
