A simple and easy process to install, heat pumps can be installed pretty much anywhere. As a renewable energy company we install them in jobs that don’t allow us to use solar thermal systems. We often use them in jobs as our auxillary back up units, that automatically activate when we have low solar values or there is extra usage on the solar geyser system.

It very important to size the right heat pump for the right application. No use over sizing a unit that does not realise its investment amount early in the life cycle of the piece of equipment.

Have a look at some systems we installed in Meyersdal, Johannesburg. These heat pumps were actually being used to heat a Jacuzzi.

Heat pumps are an excellent alternative to passive energy collection systems. They still rely on electrical power but there advantage lies in the extremly efficient way they manage to heat water. At optimal ambient tempreture (20degC) they can work at an energy conversion factor of +/- 4.5times. So for every one kilowatt of power you put in, you get at least 4,5kw(thermal) out.

Sounds like a whole lot of Greek? Basically you can look at a saving of up to 70% on electrical usage for heating water.

We have installed heat pumps in areas from the Pilanesburg Game Park, to Johannesburg, Pretoria and along our coastal regions with very good results.
