Heat pump water heaters use the same technology as heat pumps do to heat rooms, except they heat water. They do so by moving heat rather than making heat, making the more efficient than other water heating systems such as gas or electric.

A well designed heat pump water heater will use less energy than a standard electric cylinders and can work in places that solar will not work well, such as the south side of hills where there is less sun. If you have cheaper night rate electricity, your heat pump water heater can take advantage of this and save you money.

Some heat pump water heaters can also give you central heating. They do so by pumping warm water from the hot water tank into a system of underfloor heating pipes. It is also possible to use them to heat a hot tub, spa or swimming pool cheaper than using an electric heater.

Selecting a correctly sized heater for your application will ensure that it heats your water efficiently and costs you the least amount possible in power. If you are not sure what to look for, give us a call on 0800 Water Heater Brokers today.
