Hot Water Retrofits

Many New Zealanders are learning about the incredible benefits of switching to a hot water heat pump system, but already have a hot water cylinder in place.

Paying for an entirely new system can feel wasteful and overly expensive when there’s already a working system available. Some Kiwis will instead prefer for their current system to become defunct before making the switch.

Fortunately, there is a best-of-both-worlds alternative.

Retrofitting a hot water heat pump

A hot water heat pump retrofit allows you to keep your existing hot water cylinder, but take advantage of the energy- and cost-savings made possible by a hot water heat pump system.

Lite Energy uses the highly efficient Black Diamond Hydrobox Hot Water Heat Pump, an industry-leading technology that promises lower power bills and less of an environmental impact for Kiwi homes. This system can be installed in new builds, or as a retrofit for homes that already have a hot water cylinder in place.

This model has been developed locally for New Zealand conditions, and offers a variety of benefits for your home:

  • Operates in -15°C to 45°C ambient temperatures
  • Can heat a full 180L cylinder in 2.5 hours (normal tanks take up to 3.5 hours in winter)
  • Cost effective with a payback period of 3 years
  • Heats potable water to over 60°C
  • High efficiency
  • Three modes of operation

The Black Diamond Hydrobox is the easy answer for homes looking to cut their energy use and power bills without removing an existing hot water cylinder.
