iStore heat pumps

Top ratings from Product Review

iStore heat pumps have achieved top scores from Product Review for four years running. Currently, they score 4.8 out of 5 stars.

iStore heat pumps extract thermal energy from the air and use it to heat water. Thus, unlike traditional electric hot water systems which use electricity to directly heat water – a very energy-intensive process – iStore and other heat pumps are highly cost-effective. iStore heat pumps :

• Draw on premium Australian engineering skills to capture energy in the air to generate environmentally friendly hot water throughout the wet areas of your home
• Are designed for Australian conditions
• Consume 75% – 85% less energy than conventional hot water systems.
• External wrap around heating coil provides maximum thermal energy transfer.
• Operate down to minus 5°C, making them ideal for cold climates
• Use an active defrost function maintains operation in cold climates automatically
• Feature a single piece design for ease of installation
• Are ideal to operate with rooftop solar PV systems

The efficiency of iStore heat pumps means that your hot water heating bill will be very low, especially if you have a rooftop solar system.  Over a number of years, your iStore heat pump will pay for itself. You can slash your hot water electricity bill by around 60% compared to a traditional electric hot water system.

This cost-saving is achieved by the advanced heat pump technology used in iStore heat pumps. All of the energy used to heat water comes from the surrounding air. It just takes a small amount of electricity to run the fan and the heat pump mechanism.

Electricity-based renewable hot water systems are the way of the future, and they are rapidly slashing the cost of household water heating.  Find out more here.

Low weekly running costs

Heating hot water for your home accounts for up to a quarter of your electricity costs for the average Australian household.

The iStore reduces hot water heating consumption by two thirds from conventional electric or gas storage systems, while reducing CO2 emissions by 2.9 tonnes.

Here’s how it works

1. A fan draws in air, containing heat energy, across the evaporator
2. The evaporator turns the liquid refrigerant into a gas
3. The compressor pressurises the refrigerant into a hot gas
4. The hot gas inside the condenser coil heats the water inside the coil-wrapped tank
5. The refrigerant reverts back to a liquid after heating the water and continues to the evaporator for the process to start again
