Heat Pump

0860Plumbers takes an alternative approach to saving energy being one of the top heat pump suppliers in South Africa. In this day and age, we are growing more concerned with our environment and are trying to constantly find alternative and cost effective ways of saving energy. With our range of heat pumps, both suitable for household and industrial use, you will find the one suited to your needs.

A heat pump is a machine or device that effectively moves thermal energy from one location, which is at a lower temperature, to another location which is at a higher temperature. An air conditioner is one particular type of heat pump. The heat pump effectively brings in or takes out thermal energy from an occupied space for example a bedroom, lounge or office space (these devices are referred to as domestic heat pumps). At 0860Plumbers we not only supply your heat pump to you but ensure that the installation of heat pumps is done correctly.

Geyser usage has a huge impact on your monthly electricity bill. 0860Plumbers can provide you with a geyser heat pump which will reduce your electricity bill by over 30%. As not all geysers are the same size, our heat pumps for geysers will suit the size of geyser you have in your home. Kwikot heat pumps are the most effective for geyser use as they enable you to reduce your electrical geyser consumption by over 75%. Let us provide you with the means to cut down on excessive costs with our heat pumps which are available at very reasonable prices.

Water heat pumps use electricity to move heat from one place to another instead of generating heat directly. Therefore they can be two to three times more energy efficient than conventional electric resistance water heaters. To move heat, it works like a refrigerator in reverse.  Heat pump cost versus other less effective costly methods of saving electricity, makes you realise that at 0860Plumbers we have what you need to save you money.

To fully appreciate what heat pumps have to offer you, look at heat pumps vs solar power. A heat pump does not rely on the sun as an alternative form of energy as it uses thermal energy to produce the required energy. Solar power needs to store as much of the sun’s energy as possible in the solar panels to enable you to use enough electricity throughout the house. The solar energy must then be converted and stored and the battery alone is the same cost as all of the other solar elements combined.

With heat pumps this is not needed at all.
