If you have a hot water emergency or problems with your current hot water system, please call us and tell us it is an emergency situation. We prioritise emergency hot water heater installations.
We look forward to assisting you further.
(1) The specified -6˚C to 43˚C temperature range is the operational range of the Heat Pump. The electric element activates when the ambient air temperature is outside this range and heating of the water is required and if the heat pump has been heating in between -6°C to 7°C for 200 minutes.
(2) Energy savings of up to 73.9% are based on Australian Government approved TRNSYS simulation modelling using a medium load in Zone 3 and apply when replacing an electric water heater of similar size with a Solahart 270HER Heat Pump water heater. Any savings will vary depending upon your location, type of water heater being replaced, hot water consumption and fuel tariff. Before installation – seek advice as to suitability to household usage and tariffs. The impact on an electricity account will depend on the tariff arrangement of the water heater being replaced and where you live. The water heater is recommended for connection to an uninterrupted 24 hour continuous tariff power supply.
Depending upon the size of the household and its hot water requirements and if the Electricity Retailer permits, an extended off-peak (overnight and day) or Extended time controlled power supply connection of a minimum 16 hours per day may also be suitable. Before purchase consult your energy provider for more information on cost comparisons.
(3) Warranty limits regarding water chemistry. Harsh water regions – the Solahart warranty may not apply if the water heater is connected to a water supply which has a Total Dissolved Solids content >2500mg/L; is scaling with a Saturation Index >+0.8, or; is corrosive with a Saturation Index <-1.0.
(4) Warranty Periods: 7 years supply on cylinder, 3 years labour on cylinder, 3 years supply on sealed system including labour, 1 year supply and labour on all other parts. Applies to a single-family domestic dwelling only. Conditions apply. See the Solahart warranty set out in the Owner’s Guide and Installation Instructions.
(5) The COP of 5.2 is the average value in the AS/NZS5125 performance test at 19°C ambient temperature over the entire heat-up process heating the water from 10°C to 60°C during the water heating operation. Note that the actual COP of the product at any given time will be impacted by several factors, including the ambient and cold-water inlet temperatures at the place of installation and time of day/season of operation.
