What is a Domestic Hot Water Heat Pump?
- The Domestic hot water heat pump uses outdoor air to heat your hot water supply. Unlike standard air-to-water heat pumps, this particular heat pump only provides domestic hot water for showers and sinks.
How does a Domestic Hot Water Heat Pump Work?
- A domestic hot water heat pump system consists of an efficient heat pump connected to a well-insulated hot water tank. The heat source (air or liquid) passes across the domestic heat pump’s refrigerant, which circulates in a closed loop. The heat source releases some of its energy to the refrigerant, which is run through a compressor, causing the pressure and hence the temperature to rise. The resulting hot liquid then circulates through a coil around the hot water tank, heating the water.
Domestic Hot Water Heat Pumps Are Environmentally Friendly
- Domestic hot water heat pumps are easy to install compared to conventional heat pump installations. The system combines a heat pump and a water heater in the same unit and is designed for easy transport and quick installation.
- Our domestic heat pumps are among the most cost-efficient and environmentally friendly solutions for producing domestic hot water. They all rated A+, the highest energy rating for domestic hot water heat pumps. A domestic heat pump is an excellent way to establish your green credentials with a highly efficient water heating solution.
