What does the average South African family pay for electricity every month? Too much. And with electricity tariffs set to rise even more next year, there’s no better time to replace your energy-guzzling geyser with a no leak, no burst, IHP geyser that cuts your water heating costs by up to 85%.
The integrated heat pump or IHP geyser was designed to address household headaches, particularly exorbitant electricity bills. It does this by using far less electricity (up to 85% less) than a conventional geyser, while giving reliable hot water on demand.
In comparison to the 3.5kW of energy used by the average 150L geyser, the 200L IHP geyser operates on less than half a watt. That’s less than a kettle. Conventional geysers also cycle through 2-3 rounds of heating throughout the day – pushing your power usage to roughly 11kW daily – while the IHP geyser is “always on”, providing uninterrupted hot water (and 50L more of it) for less than 1.8kW per day.
This decreases your power usage for water heating by as much as 85%, resulting in almost R26 000 in savings in the first year alone. You also continue to save every year, as your usage remains low, even as electricity prices shoot up.
There’s also no need for timers, geyser breakers, geyser blankets, heat pumps or other accessories. The IHP geyser can heat water to 75. For an extra toasty shower on chilly mornings, it also has a 2kW backup element for speedy heating. Water temperature and other settings are controlled remotely with a smart app, so there’s no need to fiddle with switches and valves.
To prevent those ‘geyser bursting at 3am’ fiascos, the geyser is crafted in stainless steel, which does not leak or burst, and carries a 10-year warranty – setting a new benchmark in reliability and thermal efficiency.
