How does a heat pump water heater work?

A heat pump water heater relies on a compressor to function. The compressor absorbs the heat from the air and transfers it to the storage tank which enables the water to be heated. Racold’s heat pump water geyser is designed according to European standards to ensure safety and superior conduction of heat.

Is a heat pump water geyser energy efficient?

A heat pump water heater does not create heat but instead uses electricity to absorb heat from the air to transfer it to the water. As it relies on this mechanism, it makes it 2-3 times more energy efficient than traditional water heaters. This also allows you to save up to 60% on electricity. What’s even more interesting is that heat pump water geysers have a tank capacity that is similar to traditional storage geysers so there is no compromise on the amount of hot water.

What are the maintenance requirements of a heat pump water geyser?

An important part of a heat pump geyser is the air filter which needs to be cleaned regularly to ensure the smooth functioning of your geyser. With regards to the overall maintenance, it is similar to that of a standard electric water heater.

Where is a heat pump water heater to be installed?

The best part about a heat pump water heater is that it can be installed just about anywhere – a garage, a bathroom, storage room, etc. However, there are a few things to consider before installing the geyser like the space it will take up. Always check with your technician for the size of the geyser. Next, take into account the noise it may make while heating water, and the amount of cold air in the room. Lastly, consider the size of your family, the bathrooms that this geyser will have to cater to and the approximate amount of hot water you will need on a daily basis.

For how long do heat pump water heaters work?
