For those with a preference for this technology or those with situations where a solar alternative would not be viable Kayema now offers a range of heat pump solutions.

Essentially A heat pump works like a reverse air-conditioning unit, transferring heat from the ambient air to your geyser. The efficiency of this system means that it requires just one third of a regular electric geyser’s energy to heat the water.

As with solar there are many benefits to be enjoyed when installing a heat pump, including:

  • A drastic reduction in electricity costs (Electricity required to heat water in the geyser is reduced by up to a third.)
  • Ease of installation
  • Suitability for all geyser sizes
  • Mechanical simplicity
  • Heat pumps now qualify for a rebate through Eskom.

Possible situations where heat pumps could prove more suitable than solar would include:

  • High Rise buildings / flats without central boilers
  • Buildings with thatch or slate roofs
  • Buildings roof’s with limited or no direct sunlight
  • Units in developments and complexes where body corporate will not permit exterior solar panels.

For domestic users, Kayema offers a range of pump sizes to best suit your needs.

Recently, Kayema successfully completed a hybrid installation at Standard Bank’s head office in Simmonds Street which incorporated both solar and heat pump technology.

Kayema can provide expert advice and implementation for heat pump technology both in residential and commercial markets.
