Heat-pump Hot Water System Melbourne

This latest system utilizes heat possessed by the surrounding air to heat the water inside a storage tank. It uses a refrigerant gas, pressurized in a compressor, to draw heat from the air. The refrigerant absorbs heat then releases it in the water inside a storage tank. The surrounding air temperature, therefore, determines the final water temperature.
