Hot water specialists, BT Plumbing & Gas Ltd, says they have seen increased demand for water heaters that use renewable energy, such as the LEAP Australasia Ltd THERMAGENIUS range.
“The THERMAGENIUS integral hot water heat pumps are the perfect solution for people who are looking for a state-of-the-art product and also want to do their bit for the environment,” the company says.
The THERMAGENIUS range is said to be “extremely efficient”, using heat pump technology to extract renewable energy stored in the air to heat water.
Old electric hot water systems have been known to consume more power than any other appliance in the house.
However, THERMAGENIUS systems claim to use between 25 and 35 per cent of the electricity of standard electrical hot water systems for the same amount of heating.
By utilising free, natural energy, they can slash the cost of heating water by up to 60 per cent.
Consumer NZ research backs up the bold claim, showing that a good heat pump water heater could reduce a typical hot water bill by two-thirds.
“This is a major reason for why more customers are asking us about LEAP Australasia Ltd THERMAGENIUS products,” BT Plumbing & Gas Ltd says.
“With efficiencies in excess of 300 per cent, payback on a THERMAGENIUS can be as low as three years.”
Unlike some hot water heat pumps, the THERMAGENIUS range operates efficiently in cold temperatures thanks to its active de-icing method.
And by having the heat exchanger embedded on the outside of the cylinder, nearly eliminating the risk of corrosion, THERMAGENIUS products are likely to outlast the competition.
The professional team at BT Plumbing & Gas Ltd, members of the Master Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Association, can recommend a THERMAGENIUS hot water system to suit every household - with indoor and outdoor models available.
With decades of experience on its staff, BT Plumbing & Gas Ltd prides itself on providing quality advice and workmanship.
The New Zealand government’s Smarter Homes initiative also recommends heat pump water heaters as a good option to get the most heat from the least amount of non-renewable energy.
“Heat pumps use electricity far more efficiently than ordinary electric water heaters.”
