How Do Apricus Heat Pump Hot Water Systems Work?

  • They pull warmth from the air around your home — yes, even on chilly days.
  • That heat gets absorbed by a natural refrigerant called R290.
  • A compressor then boosts that heat to a higher temperature.
  • The heat is passed through coils wrapped around the water tank, warming your water.
  • The result? Hot water for your household uses way less electricity than old-school electric heaters.
