How a heat pump hot water services works and why it is better than a regular hot water service
A heat pump is a solar energy harvesting device just like a rooftop solar PV system or old style rooftop solar hot water system. The difference is that a heat pump collects and concentrates the solar energy, in the form of warm air,around your home and deposits it inside the tank for you to use when required. Your Sanden heat pump hot water service gives excellent service and performance in all Australian weather conditions.
A CO2 heat pump performs well when older style rooftop solar hot water heaters don't. Normal household behaviour is to use more hot water in winter when it is also generally much more cloudy (a time when roof top solar heaters perform poorly), while the Sanden's performance stays consistent throughout the seasons in Australia's temperate climate.
The Sanden Eco Hot Water Heat pump will reduce your energy by more than 90% when compared to an average gas storage hot water service and 80% when compared to an electric hot water service.
Federal and State government subsidies are available to help make your purchase affordable and accellerate your move to a pure electric house with a renewable hot water service. What's more - if you've got rooftop solar electric panels then you can schedule your Sanden to run during the day while your solar system is producing maximum power which also maximises the use of the solar energy you generate.
The Sanden is leagues ahead of all the other heat pumps in the Australian market, it uses technology that was developed under a program lead by the Japanese government, involving all the leading Japanese refrigeration companies, to build the most efficient kind of heat pump possible for the purpose of producing hot water at low temperatures. The program was called "Ecocute" and involves using supercritical CO2 as the working fluid
The Sanden achieves more renewable energy certificates under the government's renewable energy promotion scheme than any other heat pump which is the strongest indicator of just how good a product it is. Unlike all other heatpumps in the market the Sanden is so quiet that it's quieter than the noise in a library.
Don't waste your valuable rooftop space on an old style conventional solar hot water unit when you can put more solar electric panels in place. With conventional solar hot water in summer your system maybe losing hundreds of litres of our precious water resource daily due to overheating while a Sanden will produce just the right amount of water for your needs.
Talk to us now, for professional advice from our trained engineers. No gimmicks, no sales tactics just straight up and down best advice and service. We offer a fully integrated service to get you off old gas or conventional electric and on a pathway to energy efficiency and renewable energy freedom. Starting with an efficient Sanden Eco CO2 hot water service we can eliminate your annual energy usage, saving you thousands on your bills and using our knowhow to upgrade you to the latest and most efficient solar powered lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do I need to register my Sanden Eco Plus warranty?
Yes, for efficient processing of warranty claims, should they arise, please register your Sanden Eco® Plus heat pump hot water system here.
-
Is water quality an important consideration for the Sanden Eco® Plus heat pump hot water system?
Yes, importantly no warranty applies to the heat pump unit and the storage tank, where the chloride level exceeds 200 mg/litre and the pH is less than 6.0. If in doubt, seek water quality information from your local council or water supplier.
-
What do I do if the Sanden Eco® Plus heat pump hot water system has a problem?
Check our comprehensive Sanden not working checklist here if you think you have a problem with your Sanden Eco heat pump hot water system.

What are RECs and STCs, what are they worth? And how many do you get with your Sanden?
What are STCs and how many do you get with your Sanden?
The purchase and installation of a Sanden Eco® Plus Hot Water Heat Pump entitles you to Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) – formerly known as Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). For more information: visit www.environment.gov.au/climate-change and www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au
The Sanden HWHP achieves the highest level of STCs of any hot water heat pump, currently available in Australia, and these are as below:
To find out which zone your postcode is in click here (note this may change so if in doubt contact the clean energy regulator for more information)
The Table below shows how many STCs are available for each Sanden model in each STC Zone
How much are STCs worth?
STCs can be priced through the Government's STC clearing house or on the open market at places like Green Energy Markets.
So say you bought a Sanden GAUS-250FQS and you lived in zone 4 and the current STC price was $35
The total discount you would receive would be: 34 STCs x $35 = $1,190.
So you would receive a discount of $1,190 off the total price of your Sanden unit (note this is an example only to illustrate how STCs are calculated the actual discount will vary depending on the current STC price).

How does a heat pump hot water (HPHW) system work?
The Sanden Eco® Plus heat pump hot water (HPHW) system operates like a refrigerator in reverse. It contains a fan that forces air through an evaporator that contains a refrigerant. The heat in the ambient air passes through the evaporator (note: even air below 0 º C contains heat energy) and is absorbed by a natural refrigerant, R744 (aka CO2), which is ozone friendly and does not significantly contribute to global warming compared with most other refrigerants (older style refrigerants have thousands of times more global warming impact for the same amount of gas, when compared with CO2).
The warm gaseous refrigerant is circulated in the system via a compressor. As it passes through the compressor, its pressure rises, as does its temperature. This hot refrigerant then passes through a heat exchanger to heat the water, which is finally pumped to the storage tank.
-
Does the Sanden Eco® heat pump hot water system require the assistance of an electric booster element to heat water, when outside ambient temperatures are very low?
No, unlike other competitor heat pump hot water (HPHW) systems, the Sanden Eco® HPHW system does not require an electric booster element
-
What is the life expectancy of the Sanden Eco® Plus heat pump hot water system?
The Sanden Eco Plus heat pump hot water (HPHW) system is designed to last for 15 years. The high quality, weather resistant Eco® Plus HWHP outdoor module carries a 6 year warranty and the extra-long life stainless steel storage tank carries a class leading, 15 year warranty.
-
Why does the Sanden Eco® Plus use CO2 as its working gas? Isn’t CO2 a greenhouse gas and therefore harmful to the environment?
Why does the Sanden use CO2 as its working gas, what is the benefit?
- There is far less environmental impact (i.e. No ozone layer depletion and minimal global warming) than other commonly used refrigerants, should the system leak.
- There is a much higher efficiency, thereby allowing more heat to be transferred to the water, for less energy used (i.e. Excellent thermodynamic ability).
Isn't CO2 a greenhouse gas and therefor bad for the environment?
While it is true that Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas it has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 1. Whereas refrigerant gases in other heat pumps can have GWP of over 10,000, which means if they leak to the atmosphere they contribute 10,000 times more to global warming compared with the refrigerant gases used in a Sanden Eco Plus.
The table below shows the GWP for some common refrigerant gases (note: GWP must include a time interval over which the greenhouse gases act, in this case 100 years)
Our system utilizes less than 1 kg of R744 (CO2) as a refrigerant contained in a closed system at the factory. The installer does not need to charge the heat pump on site.
- There is far less environmental impact (i.e. No ozone layer depletion and minimal global warming) than other commonly used refrigerants, should the system leak.
