Water heating heat pumps can save 70% of your water heating bill. Heat pumps are probably the best energy efficient option for heating large amounts of water for hotels, gyms, hospitals, residences, flats etc. Heat pumps are so efficient because they dont "make heat" but extract it from the ambient air which was heated by the sun. They use that heat to heat water. The only electricity used is that needed to run the compressor and fan which is typically less than that consumed by the back-up/booster heating elements in an equivalently sized solar water heater. Heat pumps are not significantly affected by bad weather and can heat water night and day.

Whilst the basic technology of heat pumps is quite simple and well understood, heat pump installations are very sensitive to many different factors such as building losses, hot water usage patterns and many other factors. Because most heat pumps are limited to an upper water temperature of 60 degrees Celsius, there is not much leeway for error. Consequently many installations undertaken by inexperienced installers, have been unsuccessful in South Africa giving the heat pump industry a bad name in the country in some cases. That's why its important to select an experienced supplier and installer who can provide local technical back-up and support, and who has many successful installations as references.

In addition many low-cost imported units struggle to reach high temperatures consistently and consequently their compressors are forced to operate outside their recommended safe limits and thus dont last as long as they should. Tekniheat heat pumps are designed to supply hot water at 60 degrees Celsius, in South African conditions, regardless of demand patterns, consistently throughout their operational lives.

Of course, in the event that any problems are encountered during operation, Tekniheat are a South African company who support their products directly 100%.
