We Install, Service and Repair Heat Pump Systems
Many people assume that heat pump hot water systems are only effective in warmer climates, where they can easily draw energy from the air.
However, modern heat pump systems are designed to operate efficiently even in colder regions, extracting warmth from the air at temperatures as low as –10º Celsius (C). This makes them a viable option for households in chillier climates, much like how solar panels harness energy from the sun, even on cloudy days.
If you're considering upgrading your electric hot water system to a heat pump, you'll be glad to know that they use the same connections, making it a simple and hassle-free process for an expert Upside Down technician.

How Does a Heat Pump Hot Water System Work?
Heat pump hot water systems work by harnessing warmth from the air, along with a small amount of electricity, to heat water. The system uses a refrigerant that boils at very low temperatures (around –26°C), enabling the heat pump to operate effectively even when the outside temperature drops to –10°C.
The process of heating water with a heat pump involves several stages:
- The refrigerant starts as a liquid and is passed through an evaporator, where it absorbs heat from the surrounding air and turns into a gas.
- An electric compressor then compresses this gas, raising its temperature significantly. At this stage, the gas becomes hotter than the water in the tank.
- The hot gas flows into a condenser, where it transfers its heat to the water in the tank, cooling down and reverting back to a liquid state.
- Finally, the liquid refrigerant passes through an expansion valve, cooling down further and preparing to start the cycle again.
Although electricity powers the compressor and other components, heat pump hot water systems are approximately three times more efficient than conventional electric systems. The efficiency of the heat pump increases with warmer outdoor temperatures, making it easier to heat your water.
