When it comes to heating water efficiently, more homeowners and businesses are turning to air source hot water cylinders as a smart, sustainable solution. Unlike traditional systems that rely on immersion heaters or boilers, these cylinders use a built-in air source heat pump to draw renewable energy from the air — reducing running costs and lowering your carbon footprint.
How Does an Air Source Hot Water Cylinder Work?
An air source hot water cylinder works by pulling in air from outside, passing it through a heat exchanger, and transferring that heat into the water stored in the tank. This process uses around 80% renewable air energy and only 20% electricity, making it far more efficient than direct electric systems.
Benefits of a Hot Water Cylinder with Built-In Heat Pump
- Lower energy bills – save up to 30–50% on hot water costs.
- Eco-friendly – reduce your carbon footprint using renewable energy.
- Easy installation – only requires standard water piping.
- Quiet operation – designed for everyday use in homes and businesses.
- Flexible sizing – available in 80L–250L models for different properties.
- Solar compatible – works alongside solar to maximise savings.
- Compelling running costs – a 250L tank is under £1 (~€1.15) overnight.
Who Should Consider One?
