Having hot water at home is essential — but doing so economically, efficiently, and sustainably is increasingly important for Brazilian families.
And that's exactly where DHW heat pumps come in: a modern solution that is conquering the market and replacing old and inefficient systems.
In this article, we will explain, in simple terms, what they are, how they work, and why so many people are choosing this technology.
What is a DHW heat pump?
The acronym DHW stands for Domestic Hot Water, that is, hot water for domestic use: showers, washing, cooking, etc.
A DHW heat pump is a device that heats water using energy from the outside air, consuming much less electricity than traditional systems.
» On average, it is up to 3 to 4 times more efficient than an electric water heater.
This means that for every 1 kW of electricity consumed, the heat pump can produce 3 to 4 kW of heat.
Why is it gaining so much popularity? Here are the main reasons why DHW heat pumps are becoming the number 1 system in Portugal:
- They consume much less energy: compared to an electric water heater, they use up to 70% less.
- They run on renewable energy: they use the heat present in the air, a 100% natural and inexhaustible source.
- They have a long lifespan and require little maintenance: with simple and regular maintenance, a heat pump can last for many years – quiet, reliable and low maintenance.
- They adapt easily to any home: there are models for apartments, houses, small or large families.
- They guarantee constant and faster hot water: the tank keeps the water always hot and ready for use, even on the coldest days.
