Heat Pump Cylinders

Heat Pump Cylinders are hot water storage cylinders designed specifically for use with heat pump systems, providing efficient domestic hot water storage while optimising energy use.

About Heat Pump Cylinders

Heat pump cylinders store and deliver domestic hot water generated by heat pump systems. They are engineered to work with lower temperature heat sources than conventional boilers, ensuring efficient heat transfer and minimal energy loss. Many cylinders include features such as coil arrangements for auxiliary heating, insulation for reduced heat loss, and smart control compatibility. They are essential for maximising the performance of air source, ground source, or water source heat pumps.
