There are many systems available to suit all households of any size, any shape and anywhere!

Beacon System

The Beacon system is a simple way to add solar heating. It uses your existing or new standard cylinder by adding solar panels with a pump and controller. You can add any number of panels to suit any household size. This system is low cost and easy to install. Panels are guaranteed for 7 years and pump and controller guaranteed for 2 years.

Close Coupled Prestige Systems

This is a roof mounted system that has various sizes to suit any household demands. Systems range from 180L cylinder with 1 solar panel to 480L cylinder with 3/4 panels. The system is guaranteed for 7 years and the cylinder is made from marine grade stainless steel.

Split Centurion System

This system separates the cylinder away from the panels and uses a pump and controller to circulate water. The cylinder is vertical and is placed on the ground at the side or back of your home. Various sizes are available from 160L with one panel to 315L with 3 panels. This system is guaranteed for 10 years and the cylinder is made from marine grade stainless steel.

Most homeowners who have heat pumps use them to heat and cool their homes. But a heat pump also can be used to heat water—either as stand-alone water heating system, or as combination water heating and space conditioning system.

How They Work

Heat pump water heaters use electricity to move heat from one place to another instead of generating heat directly. Therefore, they can be two to three times more energy efficient than conventional electric resistance water heaters. To move the heat, heat pumps work like a refrigerator in reverse.

While a refrigerator pulls heat from inside a box and dumps it into the surrounding room, a stand-alone air-source heat pump water heater pulls heat from the surrounding air and dumps it—at a higher temperature—into a tank to heat water. You can purchase a stand-alone heat pump water heating system as an integrated unit with a built-in water storage tank and back-up resistance heating elements. You can also retrofit a heat pump to work with an existing conventional water storage heater. They require installation in locations that remain in the 40º–90ºF (4.4º–32.2ºC) range year-round and provide at least 1,000 cubic feet (28.3 cubic meters) of air space around the water heater. Cool exhaust air can be exhausted to the room or outdoors. Install them in a space with excess heat, such as a furnace room. Heat pump water heaters will not operate efficiently in a cold space. They tend to cool the spaces they are in. You can also install an air-source heat pump system that combines heating, cooling, and water heating. These combination systems pull their heat indoors from the outdoor air in the winter and from the indoor air in the summer. Because they remove heat from the air, any type of air-source heat pump system works more efficiently in a warm climate.
