4 Hot Water Heat Pumps are Better for the Environment Did you know a traditional electric hot water heater produces up to three times the amount of greenhouse gas compared to a low emission alternative such as a hot water heat pump? Instant gas hot water systems are even greater greenhouse gas contributors, producing a staggering seven times more emissions compared to hot water heat pump technology.*1 This makes water heating one of the largest single sources of greenhouse gas emissions from the average Kiwi home. As such, EECA has identified heat pumps as playing a key role in the ability to significantly reduce costs and greenhouse emissions from energy use. Currently an estimated 67% of New Zealand homes use a traditional electric hot water system in the home.*2 Substituting existing, less efficient technologies with more efficient ones such as a hot water heat pump therefore has the ability to make a significant reduction in overall greenhouse emissions. If you are looking for super energy efficient water heating that is kind to the environment, Mitsubishi Electric Ecodan Hot Water Heat Pumps are the natural choice. *1 Based on electrical and gas emission factor for New Zealand (EECA Genless). *2 B ased on E3 Policy Framework data for New Zealand.
