Why more Kiwi homes are switching to Heat Pump Hot Water Systems

With the rising cost of electricity in New Zealand, more homeowners are searching for energy-efficient ways to heat their water. One solution that’s gaining serious momentum? The heat pump hot water system. And when it comes to performance, quality, and long-term savings, Calitec Hot Water Systems is leading the way.

What is a Heat Pump Hot Water System?

Unlike traditional electric cylinders that generate heat directly, heat pump water heaters extract ambient heat from the air and use it to warm your water. This process is up to 3–4 times more efficient, meaning lower power bills and a smaller carbon footprint.

Spotlight on Split Systems

At Calitec, we specialise in stainless steel split system heat pump hot water systems, designed specifically for New Zealand conditions. In a split system, the outdoor unit (heat pump) is separated from the hot water cylinder, which can be placed indoors or outdoors allowing for greater flexibility in installation. Ideal for new builds and retrofits.

Calitec’s Split System Heat Pumps are built to perform in all seasons, including in cooler areas of New Zealand. Unlike integrated models, the Calitec split design places the compressor outside and the cylinder could be inside or outside as well (or wherever suits your home), improving flexibility and efficiency.

Durable and quality materials

Our hot water systems feature high-quality stainless steel for long life and peace of mind. Just reliable hot water, year after year. All backed with long-term warranties: 20 years for the hot water cylinder and 5 years for the heat pump.
