Efficient Heat Pump Water Heating by Johno the Plumber in the Coromandel Peninsula
Heat pump water heating is an energy-efficient solution for homes and offices in New Zealand. Using advanced technology, heat pump water heaters can significantly reduce your power bills while providing ample hot water quickly and efficiently.
Why Choose Heat Pump Water Heaters?
Energy Efficiency
Heat pump water heaters are generally more efficient than standard electric cylinders, utilizing energy from the outdoor air or ground to heat water. This method can lead to substantial savings on your power bills.
Proven Performance
Having personally used a heat pump water heating system for the last five years in my previous house, I experienced a significant reduction in power costs and a rapid supply of hot water. The return on investment for this type of system is approximately three years.
How Heat Pump Water Heaters Work
Heat pump water heaters extract energy from the outdoor air or ground to heat water, which is then stored in an insulated hot water tank. This process is efficient and environmentally friendly.
Considerations When Choosing a Heat Pump Water Heater
Climate Suitability
Some systems are better designed for cold climates than others. It's important to check with your supplier or manufacturer to ensure the system is suitable for your location.
Electric Boosters
In cold conditions, some systems use an electric booster or backup element. While effective, these can be more expensive to run.
Upfront Costs
The initial cost of installing a heat pump water heater can be relatively high. However, the long-term savings and efficiency often outweigh the upfront investment.
Building Consent
In some cases, a building consent may be required to install a heat pump water heater. Check with your local council for specific requirements.
Types of Heat Pump Water Heaters
There are two main types of heat pump water heaters:
Split Systems
Split systems have the compressor unit outside and the hot water tank generally inside, although the tank can also be located outside separate from the compressor. In some cases, you can use your existing tank.
All-in-One Units
All-in-one units have the compressor and tank combined, and the whole system typically sits outside. These units are compact and convenient.

How heat pump water heaters work
A refrigerator moves heat from inside the fridge to the outside - keeping the inside cold. A heat pump water heater uses the same principle in reverse. It transfers heat from outside air into a hot water tank.
The outside air gets heated up by energy from the sun all year round. So even when the sun is not shining brightly, or it is the middle of winter, there is still solar heat energy in the air that is available for use.
Heat pump systems only use electrical energy to ‘move' the heat - they don't actually ‘make' heat. This makes heat pump systems much more efficient than traditional electric or gas water heaters.
Some systems incorporate an electric element booster, for when the air is too cold for their heat pump to extract heat efficiently, while other systems can operate at very low temperatures and still produce enough hot water at good efficiencies. There are also systems that are designed to be used only in warmer areas.
The actual efficiency that you would get from a heat pump water heater depends on the make of the system, the quality of the installation, the average temperatures where you live and the location of the compressor unit.
