Heat Pump Water Heating
Aquarian hot water heat pumps are highly energy-efficient :
- they move heat (traditional water heaters cost more because they generate heat)
- around one-third of the power usage of a standard hot water cylinder
- much faster ROI (returns on your investment)
- energy from the ambient air temperature is used to heat water
- energy is stored in an insulated hot water cylinder – using the same technology as heat pump air conditioners -for energy efficiency even in low temperatures
- powered by electricity, either from the grid or your own solar or other energy source.
- Aquarians are a perfect partner with your solar system as they can be programmed to heat during the day off your own generated power. (they only draw 700w!)
