The perfect hot water system for your home

A hot water heater that multiplies your energy by up to five times.

When a Reclaim Energy CO2 heat pump stores heat in your hot water cylinder it’s delivering 5 times more energy than the electricity it uses.  Whether you’re on mains power or have your own PV system (solar power) a Reclaim heat pump will maximise your savings.

Combined with your PV system it will optimise your investment, multiplying your savings on hot water and avoiding exporting to the grid for little return with low buy back power tariffs.

The smart controller ensures that the heat pump provides you, the householder with a highly efficient, low operating cost hot water solution.

 

How the heat pump uses CO2 to heat water

A Reclaim Energy CO2 Heat Pump Hot Water System uses leading technology to draw energy in from the ambient atmosphere and transfer it into heat. Ozone friendly refrigerant (CO2) absorbs the heat, which then flows into a compressor, where it’s converted into a high temperature gas. It then passes through a condenser within the water heat exchanger and the water is heated and then stored in the hot water tank for later use. No backup booster is required.

This means the Reclaim Energy CO2 Heat Pump Hot Water System requires much less electricity to heat water when compared to conventional hot water systems.

Because the system runs off electricity, combining it with your own electricity generation from PV panels enhances this reduction in energy consumption and costs. You can also avoid exporting to the grid for little return with low buy back power tariffs.

Efficient hot water heating

The Reclaim Energy CO2 hot water heat pump is a split system so your hot water cylinder can be either indoors or outdoors. For even more flexibility a Reclaim heat pump can be fitted to almost any hot water cylinder.

It’s important to have enough hot water storage for efficient running so we recommend a 300L cylinder.  So no matter your house design we have a solution to suit your hot water needs.

Smart Flexible Features

Our standard smart controller puts control back into your
hands. The controller has 5 presets that allow you to set customise your hot water management at the touch of a button. You can choose to optimise your PV energy production or for householders without PV you can set the unit to operate on the cheapest tariffs to ensure your household energy budget is controlled by you. Our single shot boost guarantees that no matter what option you choose you will never be without hot water.
