Heat Pumps

Improve Economic Performance

Heat pumps can be installed to improve the economic performance of your building hot water requirements. A heat pump is essentially an air-conditioner operating in reverse. When used for heating, a heat pump, in effect replaces the current geyser’s (hot water tank) electrical element as an alternative source of water heating.

The system employs an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, refrigerant gas, and an expansion valve as its main components, forming a closed heating circuit. Operational times and desired water temperature can be custom set to suite guestโ€™s hot water requirements and peak demand periods. For large buildings with high volumes of hot water requirements, a large central heat pump system may be more cost-effective.
