Guide to Choosing a Hot Water Heat Pump

Energy Efficient

Look for models with high energy efficiency ratings. Heat pumps with a high Coefficient of Performance (COP) deliver more heat per unit of electricity consumed. For example, a unit with COP of 4 will return you 4 units of hot water for every 1 unit of power consumed.

Refrigerant Type

Different heat pump models use different refrigerants. Some refrigerants are more efficient and better for the environment than others. Here are the most common refrigerants with their COP and Global Warming Potential (GWP) scores. The higher the COP and the lower the GWP the better. We recommend hot water heat pumps with R290, CO2 or R32 refrigerants.

Integrated or Split System

Around 95% of the installs we do are integrated external systems. The whole unit sits outside the house freeing up valuable space inside. If an integrated system is not possible (sometimes the cylinder needs to be located inside so that it is central to all water outlets, or there simply isn’t space outside), then a split system is worth looking at. A split system will have a compressor unit outside and a hot water cylinder either inside or outside. The benefit of a split system is that their recovery time tends to be quicker. The downside is that they can be more expensive to purchase and install.
