Instead of producing heat directly, Zanskar’s heat pump water heaters use electricity to move heat from one place to another. The result is two to three times more energy efficient than any traditional electric resistance water heaters. To move heat, the heat pump works like an inverted refrigerator.

How does the Zanskar Heat Pump system work?
Zanskar HotSpring heat pumps act as air-source heat pumps because they transfer heat from the surrounding air to heat the water flow inside the tank. They can minimize greenhouse gas emissions, save money, and save energy. It is 2-3 times more energy efficient than conventional water heaters. You can save up to 70% on electricity bills and fuel bills. There is no reduction in the volume of hot water produced by heat pump water geysers because their tank capacity is comparable to that of conventional storage geysers. The air filter is a crucial component of a heat pump geyser and must be cleaned on a regular basis to guarantee proper operation. It requires equivalent overall upkeep to a conventional electric water heater.
Key features of Zanskar heat pump water heater
75% energy saving– Few years down the line, the energy bill savings alone can pay for a new water heater, all the while being easier on the environment.
All-in-one system– Single unit air-to-water heat pumps have a combined tank and compressor – allowing for easy installation & usage.
Intelligent controllers– Eco, Standard and Intelligent operating modes with precise heating on LED display offer the control you need.
Low noise 48 DB– A typical heat pump has a sound level of 60dB, like a constant conversation. Zanskar heat pumps go even lower – you won’t even notice they’re there.
Plug-and-play system– A true plug-and-play solution that reduces service and operation hassle and allows for easy installation.
International certification– Compliant with Australian safety and performance standards.
