A heat pump water heater is the specific application most Kenyan customers mean when they ask about heat pumps — a unit dedicated to producing hot water for bathrooms, kitchens and laundries, rather than space heating. We install tanks from 150 litres for a small household right up to multi-thousand-litre commercial systems for hotels and laundries.
Installation typically integrates with your existing plumbing, feeding into the same distribution pipework as your old geyser, so disruption is minimal. If you're comparing this against a solar water heater, both are covered in more detail on our main heat pump services page; for pool-specific heating, see our pool heat pump page instead.
Tank sizes available: 150L to 5,000L+ for commercial use
Typical residential cost: KSh 150,000 – 350,000 installed
Energy savings: Up to 70% vs an electric immersion heater
Warranty: 2 years installation, manufacturer warranty varies by brand
We install heat pump water heaters nationwide for homes, hotels, restaurants and commercial kitchens.

A heat pump uses ambient air heat and works consistently day or night regardless of sunlight, while a solar water heater has no ongoing electricity draw but depends on sun exposure — many properties use both together.
This depends on the number of occupants and bathrooms; we confirm exact sizing during a free site survey rather than guessing from a generic chart.
In most cases yes, connecting into your existing hot water distribution pipework, though the outdoor unit does need a suitable, well-ventilated location.
No — unlike solar water heaters, they extract heat from the ambient air and work efficiently in shade, at night, and in cloudy conditions.
