How does a heat pump water heater actually work?

A fan draws in outside air and a refrigerant circuit lifts the heat out of it. That heat is passed into the water in the cylinder, so electricity moves heat rather than creating it, which is why running costs drop.

Why do Wellington homeowners switch from electric?

Mainly running costs. A heat pump system does the same job as a standard electric cylinder using far less power, so the saving shows up every month on the power bill.

Where does the outdoor unit go on a windy site?

We site it out of the worst of the southerly, with clear airflow and away from bedroom windows. On coastal and salt-air sites we allow for exposure when choosing the position and fixings.

What are the signs it needs repair?

Lukewarm water, a noisy fan or compressor, an error code on the controller, ice building up on the unit, or water pooling underneath it.

Can it be installed on a steep hillside property?

Yes. Steep and narrow-access sites are normal in Wellington. We check access before the day so the unit and cylinder can be moved in safely.
