How hot water heat pumps work 

Hot water heat pumps are not to be confused with a heat pump home heating system. They use renewable energy from the air outside to heat your water, making them an eco-friendly and energy-efficient option. 

Hot water heat pumps use electricity to absorb heat energy from the surrounding air, transferring it to water. This is done via the compressor which concentrates the heat energy from the air using a refrigerant such as CO2 or R134a. 

Once heated the hot water is pumped to the top of the hot water cylinder and fills the cylinder top down. The heat pump will then turn off once the cylinder has reached the desired minimum temperature of approximately 60℃.
