Round-the-clock hot water, care-home reliable
Residents' hot water needs don't run on a nine-to-five schedule. Orca heat pumps deliver a constant, hygienic supply around the clock, and cut water heating costs by up to 70% doing it.
Hot water on a care home's schedule
Bathing assistance, laundry, kitchen use and hand-washing happen around the clock in a nursing home, not in a few predictable bursts — and reliability matters here more than in almost any other setting. An Orca heat pump heats water independently, 24 hours a day, and keeps working alone down to −7°C outside, or as low as −15°C with the integrated electric heater, so there's never a cold snap that catches a home short.
The system is Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) approved, giving facility managers a recognised, straightforward choice to justify to a board or an inspector, on top of the running-cost savings.
