Heat Pumps... Consumption The standard water heating process through the use of a geyser in a home or business consumes 60 -70 per cent of the electricity usage. A heat pump can reduce this by as much as 70%. The geyser is disconnected from the distribution board. The geyser is used as a reservoir to store your water which retains the pressure in the system. A geyser will consume 3 to 4 kilowatt of power (dependent on size of geyser)to function. The Heating process will be repeated throughout the day and night. A 1Klw pump delivers 3Klw of heat energy which is far quicker and consumes less energy. The pump circulates the water throughout the system continuously which ensures hot water almost instantly and heats to 60 degrees Celsius in three seconds, only when in use. The reduction in electrical consumption is 60 to 70 per cent of the current water heating cost. Placement Another great advantage of the heat pump is the universal positioning of the unit. Regardless of the structures, clustered together or far apart, the pump/s are sized according to need and placed in optimum positions to accommodate the amount water heating required. They are fully weather proofed. A heat pump can only be positioned (placed) outside a building on a flat roof or external wall or on a concrete plinth on the ground.
