HOT WATER HEAT PUMPS WELLINGTON
Your biggest power bill could be hiding in your hot water cylinder
Heating your water is one of the biggest energy users in your home. A hot water heat pump is a smarter, more energy-efficient way to keep the hot water flowing while helping reduce your running costs.
A smarter way to heat your water
Unlike a traditional electric hot water cylinder that generates heat using electricity alone, a hot water heat pump uses energy from the surrounding air to heat your water.
The result? The same reliable hot water your family relies on every day - but using significantly less electricity to produce it.
It's a smarter way to heat your water without changing the way you live.
"The Wasabi team did a great install, and we are really happy with our new hot water heat pump."

FAQs
What is a hot water heat pump?
A hot water heat pump uses heat from the surrounding air to warm your water rather than relying solely on electricity. It's one of the most energy-efficient ways to produce hot water for your home.
How much could I save on my power bill if I switch to a hot water heat pump?
Because heating water makes up a significant portion of most household electricity use, switching to a hot water heat pump can noticeably reduce your running costs. The exact savings depend on your household's hot water usage and the system being replaced.
Do hot water heat pumps still work in winter?
Yes. Modern hot water heat pumps are designed to perform efficiently throughout the year, including Wellington's colder months.
Can I replace my existing hot water cylinder?
In many cases, yes. We'll assess your current setup and recommend the best replacement option for your home.

They do produce some operational noise, similar to an outdoor heat pump unit, but modern systems are designed to operate quietly and are positioned to minimise any impact on your home.

With professional installation and regular servicing, a quality hot water heat pump should provide many years of reliable performance.
