Hot Water Heat Pumps are Good for the Environment

Did you know a traditional electric hot water heater produces up to three times the amount of greenhouse gas compared to a low emission alternative such as a hot water heat pump?

Instant gas hot water systems are even greater greenhouse gas contributors, producing up to a staggering seven times more emissions compared to hot water heat pump technology.*1

Currently an estimated 67% of New Zealand homes use a traditional electric hot water system in the home.*2 Substituting existing, less efficient technologies with more efficient ones such as a hot water heat pump therefore has the ability to make a significant reduction in overall greenhouse emissions.

If you are looking for super energy efficient water heating that is kinder to the environment, Mitsubishi Electric Ecodan Hot Water Heat Pumps are the natural choice.

How Efficient is a Hot Water Heat Pump?

The efficiency of a heat pump is known as the Coefficient of Performance or COP. This is a ratio of the heat delivered to power consumed. For every 1kW of electrical input energy, Ecodan absorbs freely available heat energy from the outdoor air to provide the home with an average of at least 3.2kW*3 of heat output.
