Save Big on Hot Water Bills
The number one motivation for most customers investing in an Apricus heat pump is the huge savings on ongoing water heating bills. Compared to conventional storage tanks that use electric or gas heating elements, heat pumps can produce the same amount of hot water for about one third of the energy input. You can look at the Apricus heat pump price and see how much you can save. Contact us for the Apricus heat pump price list today.
This is because they use free renewable warmth from the air and concentrate it, rather than wasting energy creating heat through combustion or electrical resistance. When managed correctly, households enjoy hot water running costs slashed by around 60-70%.
With rising electricity prices, installing an Apricus heat pump means futureproofing against cost increases. The higher initial outlay quickly pays you back through years of almost gratis hot water instead of skyrocketing power bills from inefficient systems.
Greener Hot Water Footprint
As New Zealand aims to achieve ambitious climate change targets by 2030 and 2050 to combat global warming, every bit of carbon emission reduction helps. Thanks to their exceptional energy efficiency, heat pump water heating systems have an extraordinarily low carbon footprint.
In fact, the annual CO2 emissions savings of around 3 tonnes means installing an Apricus heat pump instead of traditional electric heating earns the same emissions reduction as planting over 80 trees or taking 2 cars off the road!
So, you can enjoy guilt-free long hot showers, knowing your water heating contributes minimal greenhouse gases yet still provides piping hot water on demand with ease.
Maximise Use of Your Solar PV System
An increasing number of kiwi homeowners have installed rooftop solar panels to offset daytime household electricity consumption and reduce power costs. However, the benefits have been limited at times when solar output has exceeded demand, especially in summer.
But heat pump water heaters like the Apricus All In One model now allow users to sync the heating schedule with solar generation, providing a way to store surplus free solar energy as hot water. This gives owners the power to capture even more value from their PV array for usable water heating that would otherwise be wasted on the grid. More information about this is available on Apricus heat pump manual.
Excellent Hot Water Convenience
With built-in smart Wi-Fi connectivity and mobile app control, you can enjoy convenient command of your hot water system from anywhere.
The clever controller also allows you to set specific heating schedules to match your household’s routine plus take advantage of off-peak power rates if available in your region to further slash water heating expenses. This automation saves you time and hassle adjusting hot water settings manually.
Sophisticated safety mechanisms with dual heating backup give you peace of mind that hot water supply is uncompromised in adverse weather conditions while still maximising efficiency most of the time. Plus, with a substantial 260 liter storage volume as standard, even unexpected heavy demand is handled with ease. Our Apricus heat pump review explains more on it.
Longer Lifespan Means Better Value
While cheaper to buy initially, some conventional electric and gas systems end up being replaced after less than 10 years in harsh NZ conditions due to cylinder corrosion and components wearing out. This replacement waste ending up in landfill is environmentally questionable.
In contrast, premium Apricus heat pumps are designed and constructed right here in New Zealand from quality materials selected specifically to handle our climate. Fully serviceable and equipped with durable compressor and refrigeration technology proven over decades internationally, you can expect 20+ years of reliable service.
