Heat Pump Hot Water Reports
Independent Heat Pump Hot Water System Reports
A lot like the reverse-cycle air conditioner that heats and cools your home, Heat-pump hot water systems use a refrigeration cycle which uses heat from the surrounding air to heat your domestic hot water. Heat pump hot water systems can use up to 75% less electricity than a conventional electric hot water system.
There are many heat pump hot water systems (HWS) coming into the Australian market with large variances in quality and price. A heat pump HWS report compares each brand allowing householders to make an informed decision on their next hot water system.
An independent heat pump HWS report includes the following:
- All-in-one or separated systems – heat pumps are manufactured in two types; all-in-one or separated. The report will explain the advantages and disadvantages of each system.
- Cost and savings – estimated purchase and operating costs.
- Tank size – recommended tank size to match the number of occupants in your home.
- Tank material – tanks are made in stainless steel or vitreous enamel. The report will explain the differences.
- Water heating schedule – the most energy efficient time of day to heat water.
- Switchboard – switchboard requirements for each heat pump brand.
- Water discharge – the process of water heating via heat pumps creates a water discharge from the tank. The report explains drainage requirements.
- Tank location – tank location requirements for heat pump hot water systems (HWS).
