Save money every day with an energy-efficient hot water system
Hot water accounts for a significant portion of your home's electricity usage. If your existing electric hot water cylinder is ageing or costing more to run each year, upgrading to a Heat Pump Hot Water Cylinder could be one of the smartest investments you make.
At Corestone Plumbing & Heating, we specialise in the installation and replacement of heat pump hot water cylinders throughout Otago and Southland. We help homeowners enjoy lower energy bills, reliable hot water and modern, environmentally friendly technology.
Unlike a conventional electric hot water cylinder that creates heat using an electric element, a heat pump hot water cylinder captures heat energy from the surrounding air and transfers it into the stored water.
This technology works much like a home heat pump but instead of warming your house, it heats your hot water.
Because it moves heat instead of creating it, a heat pump hot water cylinder uses significantly less electricity while still providing plenty of hot water for your family.
