What are the benefits of a Hot Water Heatpump?
Good for the Environment with Minimal Carbon Foot Print
A hot water heat pump produces up to three times less greenhouse gas emissions, compared to traditional electric hot water heaters*.
This makes water heating one of the largest single sources of greenhouse gas emissions from the average Kiwi home. As such, EECA has identified heat pumps as playing a key role in the ability to significantly reduce costs and greenhouse emissions from energy use.
If you are looking for super energy efficient water heating with minimal environmental impact, a Black Diamond Hydrobox Hot Water Heat Pump System is the obvious low carbon solution.
* Based on electrical and gas emission factor for New Zealand.
Cost effective solution with fast payback period as low as 3 years
The estimated return on investment of a Black Diamond Hydrobox System, when compared to a gas or direct electric heating system, could be as low as three years*.
There are ways of reducing this payback period further, such as taking advantage of lower cost nightly electricity tariffs available; reducing homeowners’ energy bills by heating the hot water cylinder during the night. Large households with high hot water usage could bring the payback period down significantly.
* Payback period comparison based on average energy supplier costs per kWh over an average winter heating period. Actual savings may vary in line with gas and electricity price fluctuations and seasonal conditions. This is an estimate only.
Effective energy savings no matter what family size
Low water users can achieve large energy savings as the power saved by the Hydrobox can make their homes lower power users and therefore reduce electricity line charges.
Water is hot and ready to be used straight away
Water is heated to 62°C and is fed directly into the top of the cylinder. This means that this water is ready to use straight away. In a traditional electric system it can take hours to heat the water cylinder enough to produce 60°C water from a cold tank situation.
How does it work?
The Outdoor Unit and the Hydrobox Heat Exchanger that connects to an existing or new cylinder work together to provide energy efficient water heating.
The Black Diamond Hydrobox Hot Water Heat Pump System incorporates an outdoor unit just like any heat pump space heating system. It uses electricity to absorb freely available warmth from the surrounding air and then transfers it to your home so it can provide energy efficient hot water heating all year round.
The system utilises next generation R32 refrigerant in the outdoor unit which has 1/3 the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of R410A commonly used in other systems, meaning it is better for the environment.
The Black Diamond Hydrobox features an intelligent computer control which ensures that the system continually optimises performance.
The Hydrobox ensures water is heated to 62°C and is fed directly into the top of the cylinder. This means that this water is ready to use straight away. In a traditional electric system it can take hours to heat the water cylinder enough to produce 60°C water from a cold tank situation.
Furthermore, the system features fast recovery of a full water tank and can reheat an entire 180L cylinder in 2 ½ hours where traditional electric cylinders can take up to 3 ¼ hours in winter*.
* Based on tank heat-up test at 10°C ambient temp.
