A heat pump uses electricity to drive the compressor and the fan instead, unlike a traditional electric resistance water heater that uses electricity to directly heat the water. While the outside temperature is higher than the cold refrigerant, the heat pump will absorb heat and move it to the water.
A heat pump works like an inverse air conditioner. It takes heat particles from the atmosphere, compresses them, pumps them into your geyser and circulates the water. Heat pumps are efficient in how they use electricity and a 1kw input of electricity generally translates to a 4kw output of electricity.
ITS Heat Pumps & Solar have a large range of residential, commercial and pool heat pumps and are the leading heat pump suppliers in South Africa
