Energy-Saving Hot Water Systems Using Air-to-Energy Technology
Reduce household energy use with a system that captures ambient heat to produce hot water efficiently across all seasons.
Midea Heat Pump Installation Across Newcastle
Chromagen Midea heat pumps are built to use air rather than direct electricity to heat water. The system extracts heat from outside air and transfers it into the water tank, reducing grid energy use.
These units are installed in homes where lower energy bills, compatibility with solar, or access to rebates is a priority. Midea’s integrated tank and pump system is compact and suitable for small yards, garages, or tight side access areas.
Installation and servicing are handled across Newcastle and the Hunter Region. Whether replacing an electric water heater or installing in a new build, Midea units deliver consistent performance with reduced power usage.
Key System Features
Compact footprint with integrated compressor and tank
Air-to-energy operation reduces grid power demand
Runs independently or in support of solar systems
Inbuilt programmable timer with user control
Approved under government rebate programs in NSW
Operates in low temperatures with stable output
How the Midea Heat Pump Works
Unlike traditional electric storage systems, Midea heat pumps use ambient air to heat refrigerant inside a closed-loop system. That refrigerant then warms the water held in the integrated tank.
This cycle uses less electricity because the heat is drawn from the environment, not created through resistance elements. It functions during the day or night and requires only minimal electrical input to power the compressor and circulation system.
Midea units work well with homes that use solar panels or have access to off-peak rates, thanks to the timer function. Users can program heat cycles to run at optimal times to reduce overall usage.
Suitable Applications
Residential
- Ideal for homes upgrading from electric systems
- Works with solar-supported households
- Small footprint suits narrow spaces
New Builds
- Integrated design simplifies installation
- Supports energy targets in sustainable housing
Multi-Dwelling Units
- Can be installed individually across grouped townhouses
- Reduces overall energy demand in shared developments
Energy Savings and Performance
Switching from electric storage to Midea heat pump systems can lower hot water electricity usage by more than 60 percent.
With timer settings and air-based heat transfer, the system avoids peak demand periods and maximises free energy use when solar is available. Water remains heated at a consistent level, reducing the need for long reheating cycles.
NSW Government Rebate Access
Chromagen Midea heat pumps meet requirements for various energy-saving rebates, including the NSW Energy Savings Scheme. These rebates reduce installation costs for eligible homes, helping shorten payback periods.
Heat Pump Support and Servicing
Ongoing servicing is available across Newcastle and surrounding regions. Hogan Hot Water provides system checks, timer support, performance testing, and warranty coverage for all Chromagen Midea units.
Each install includes setup advice and contact access for future support or maintenance scheduling.
