What is a hot water heat pump, and what are the benefits?
Enviroheat hot water heat pumps are one of the most energy-efficient hot water heating systems available on the market today. Chewing up far less of your power bill than gas or electric heating systems would, they are especially ideal for anyone whose house is incompatible with solar power systems – for example, if you live in an especially cloudy place.
Another advantage of hot water heat pumps is the fact that your energy savings will be less reliant on how much hot water you use. That’s right, with an Enviroheat hot water system, you won’t break your bank when just for having a nice long shower.
This level of energy efficiency will significantly reduce your carbon footprint, and it will take you less than three years to break even on your investment. What’s not to love?
How do hot water heat pumps work?
Hot water heat pumps stand out from electric or gas heaters because they are more energy-efficient at heating water. They operate by transferring heat energy into a hot water tank, then using an evaporator to raise the temperature of the water inside.
Rather than generating heat as other systems do, hot water heat pumps just transfer heat from one source to another, which requires far less energy – savings of up to 71% – than traditional hot water heating systems.
For every kilowatt of electricity used, the Enviroheat hot water heat pump absorbs another three kilowatts of heat from the air to generate four kilowatts worth of energy to heat your water.
An easy way to think of this operation is by imagining the reverse of a refrigerator. While your fridge will expel heat from its box and release it into the air, heat pumps take heat from the air and transfer it to water.
The four-step process of Enviroheat hot water heat pump:
- Air, which contains heat energy, is drawn in by the fan across an evaporator.
- The evaporator turns liquid refrigerant into gas.
- The hot gas inside a condenser coil heats the water inside the tank
- After expanding into gas, the refrigerant cools down back to a liquid, goes back to the evaporator, and renews the process
