Hot-Water Heat Pumps in the Cape Town City Bowl
Geyser replacement and retrofits that slash the biggest line item on your electricity bill.
Water heating is usually a third of a City Bowl household's electricity use. A hot-water heat pump does the same job for a fraction of the energy, and in most Gardens or Vredehoek homes it can be retrofitted onto the existing cylinder rather than ripping out your plumbing.
- Retrofit onto existing geysers or full integrated cylinder swaps
- Split and monobloc configurations for tight apartment plant spaces
- Legionella cycle and thermostat safety setup
- Element backup wiring for peak-demand mornings
- Compliance certificate on completion
System anatomy
What we inspect, and why it matters
Cylinder
Stratification is everything — a badly plumbed retrofit mixes the tank and destroys the saving.
Circulation pump
Sized to move water without dragging the tank temperature down.
Condenser
Placed where it can breathe. Apartment plant cupboards need ducted airflow, not a sealed box.
