Quantum Heat Pump Hot Water Systems are an Australian invention that has been on the market for 20 years. They are simply one of the most efficient and economical water heaters available, and the cheapest solar hot water system to install. What does this mean for you? Save Money. You'll save up to $400 a year on energy, compared with a standard electric system. 24/7 Operation. Quantum works 24 hours a day, extracting heat from the ambient air, so you'll always have lots of hot water. Cold is no problem. The Quantum Heat Pump Solar Hot Water System is designed in Australia to keep working, and keep producing hot water, even when the temperature drops to -10°C.
Easy Installation. Your Quantum is a breeze to connect. There's nothing to go on the roof. If you're replacing an existing electric hot water system, the connections are the same. Reduce Greenhouse Emissions. Compared with a standard electric hot water system, the Quantum Solar Water Heater will save 4 tonnes or more of greenhouse gas emissions from your home. Receive Government Subsidies. Both the Federal Govenment of Australia, and many State Governments, recognise the efficiency of the Quantum Heat Pump Water Heater, and provide rebates to support your purchase. Basically, if it's a new installation, or replacing an electric system, you're in business. Australia-wide, the Federal Government REC's (Renewable Energy Certificates) will subsidise your purchase. The amount varies with area, but in the ACT (Canberra), the REC's are currently (01/10/09) worth around $650*. In some State jurisdictions, there is a further subsidy available. So how does the Quantum heat pump water heater operate? Fortunately, it's not rocket science. The principle is the same as the one that powers your refrigerator, air conditioner, or reverse cycle air conditioner (also known as a heat pump). Heat is collected from one space, and released into another. In the case of your refrigerator, the heat inside the fridge is collected, and moved into the kitchen. In the case of your air conditioner, the heat is extracted from your room, and pumped to the outside of your home. When your reverse-cycle air conditioner is working in winter, it is extracting the heat from the ambient air outside, and pumping it into the house.
That's what the Quantum heat pump water heater does. It takes the heat from the ambient air, and uses it to heat your hot water. Here's the counter-intuitive part. Even below freezing, there's still plenty of heat available. You actually have to go down to minus 273.15C to reach absolute zero, where there is no heat. The advanced design and refrigerant used in the Quantum, means it happily keeps producing economical hot water for you, all the way down to at least -10C. And it doesn't stop when the sun goes down- it will work 24/7 to save you money. Pricing:
