South African homeowners are feeling the pressure of rising electricity prices and are searching for more cost-effective, energy-efficient ways to keep their homes comfortable. One of the most exciting and impactful solutions available today is the domestic heat pump — an innovative system that uses the thermal energy in the air to heat water, slashing electricity use by up to 70% compared to traditional electric geysers.
At Right Air, we’re proud to offer a premium selection of domestic heat pumps from trusted brands like ITS and Alliance, helping families save money, reduce their carbon footprint, and enjoy reliable hot water year-round.
Why Domestic Heat Pumps Are So Efficient
Unlike conventional geysers, which rely entirely on electricity to heat water, domestic heat pumps draw heat from the air and transfer it into your home’s water system. This means they use far less power to achieve the same result — making them one of the most energy-efficient heating options available.
South Africa’s climate makes these systems particularly effective. Whether you’re in the warm coastal regions or the cooler inland areas, domestic heat pumps are designed to perform reliably in all conditions. Plus, they’re compatible with most existing plumbing systems, meaning you won’t need to overhaul your home to upgrade.

With so many models available, it’s important to choose the right heat pump for your home. Here’s a look at some of the most popular options at Right Air:

Long-Term Benefits for Your Home and Wallet
The advantages of switching to a domestic heat pump go beyond immediate savings on electricity bills. These systems offer:
- Lower monthly energy costs
- Reduced strain on the national grid
- A smaller carbon footprint, supporting environmental sustainability
- Low maintenance needs, often requiring just occasional check-ups and filter cleaning
Homeowners also appreciate the long lifespan of these units — a well-maintained heat pump can last 10–15 years or more, making it a smart long-term investment.
