Daikin Hot Water Systems
Daikin hot water systems use advanced heat pump technology to provide energy-efficient and reliable hot water. These systems extract heat from the outside air and transfer it to water, reducing electricity usage compared to traditional electric heaters.
How It Works
Daikin hot water systems use heat pump technology, which transfers heat rather than generating it.
Process:
- Heat is absorbed from the outside air
- A refrigerant captures and transfers the heat
- The compressor increases the temperature
- Heat is transferred to water stored in a tank
This method uses minimal electricity and can be 3–5 times more efficient than traditional electric or gas systems.
Types of Daikin Hot Water Systems for Home in Australia
Upgrade your home with advanced Daikin heat pump hot water technology, designed to deliver reliable performance while reducing energy costs and environmental impact.
Key Benefits:
1. Daikin CO2 Heat Pump Hot Water Systems
Designed with lead-free and PFAS-free components and using R744 (CO₂) refrigerant, Daikin hot water systems deliver up to 80% energy savings while reducing environmental impact.
Heat pumps can convert 1 unit of energy into up to 5–6 units of heat, making them highly efficient.
Many Australian households already use solar PV. When integrated with a heat pump system, excess solar energy can be used to heat water, helping reduce energy costs even further.
These systems are built for durability, high performance, and easy control and maintenance.
2. Air-to-Water Heat Pumps (Daikin Altherma)
This is one of the most popular Daikin hot water solutions in Australia for residential use. It provides heating, cooling, and hot water by extracting heat from the outside air and transferring it into water-based systems such as underfloor heating or radiators.
It is highly energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and ideal for both new builds and home upgrades.
System Options:
- Residential low temperature systems for floor heating and radiators (up to 55°C)
- Residential high temperature systems for domestic hot water and radiators (up to 80°C)
- Residential hybrid systems combining heat pump and gas boiler
- Commercial systems for large-scale hot water needs (apartments, hotels, gyms)
Other Daikin Heat Pump Solutions
- Air-to-Air Heat Pumps (Split/Ducted): Efficient heating and cooling with up to 30% energy savings. Ideal for renovations or replacing electric systems.
- VRV / VRF Systems (Commercial): Advanced systems designed for commercial spaces, offering precise zone control and high efficiency.
- Hybrid Heat Pumps (Daikin Altherma Hybrid): Combines a heat pump with a gas boiler, automatically selecting the most efficient mode.
- High-Temperature Heat Pumps (Altherma 3 H HT): Ideal for replacing older systems without upgrading radiators. Operates in temperatures as low as -28°C.
