The Ecogenica split heat pump save up to 80% of household energy bills for hot water. The most energy efficient hot water heater on the market in Australia (march,2023).
Developed by Sustainable ES and Eco Alliance, the design is the result of 40 years of development and refinement and whilst sometimes discredited, as a low-cost product, the design is one of the most innovative, reliable and energy efficient.
The calculators listed here are to be used to determine the energy used and cost of hot water, depending on how many people use the system a day.
Please note, the yellow cells are editable. The specifications are generated automatically when you use the drop-down menus.
We recommend you use your energy bill tariffs and an estimate of hot water use. Generally, a family uses about 50 to 60 litres of hot water a day, per person.

Solar power systems have transformed the energy production profile of many countries, improving the way countries make power. However, more needs to be done.
How much solar power is needed to make hot water?
Well, it depends on the number of solar panels you have (and the power output of the panels). And it also depends on the amount of hot water you use, and the energy used to make hot water. A Heat Pump Hot Water Heater will reduce power requirements, to make hot water by around 80% (with a high-quality Heat Pump like the Ecogenica).
So, we have published a spread sheet here to help you calculate this relationship. The spread sheet will show you power used by an electric water heater, a Ecogenica Heat Pump Water Heater and SolarEdge solar panels.
The link at the bottom of this page takes you to the interactive spreadsheet.
