How does a Mitsubishi Ecodan System work?

​We’re very familiar with heat pumps in Christchurch. But what’s a hot water heat pump, and how does it work?

​The Ecodan outdoor unit

​The Mitsubishi Electric Ecodan outdoor unit only requires an electricity and water connection and is easy to install discreetly on the outside of your Christchurch home.

 The Ecodan hot water heat pump is much like a regular heat pump in that it collects the warmth in the air outside your home, and transfers it inside your home. The only difference is that a Mitsubishi Ecodan system can transfer that heat into water, either for your hot water cylinder, radiator, or underfloor heating system.

The Ecodan hot water cylinder

Your Mitsubishi Ecodan system can provide your Christchurch home with a continuous supply of hot water via a dedicated hot water cylinder.

Heat Pumps NOW can install a dedicated, specifically designed hot water cylinder to integrate with your Ecodan hot water system. In some cases, an Ecodan outdoor unit can be connected to your existing hot water cylinder, but we’ll need to assess this on a case-by-case basis.

​Energy efficient control

​Traditional hot water cylinders heated by an element can account for up to a third of your electricity bill. 
Mitsubishi Ecodan hot water heat pumps use 1kW of electrical energy input and take 2.2kW of low temperature renewable heat energy from the air, producing a high efficient 3.2kW heat energy output.

This ‘multiplying’ effect of producing three times heat energy than it takes to produce is one of the reasons why Mitsubishi Ecodan hot water heat pumps are able to reduce the amount of electricity needed to supply your home with hot water.

In addition to being more energy efficient to run, your Ecodan hot water heating system also offers you more control around your electricity usage. Want to set a timer for when you need hot water most, or use off-peak times instead? The intelligent system gives you more control over how you heat and use your hot water.

With a Mitsubishi Ecodan system you have the choice of a range of controls, including a centralised panel in your home or an advanced Wi-Fi system that connects to any smart device so you can control your heating remotely.
