KRONOTERM Sustainable Hot Water Solutions

At ECS, we believe that optimising your home’s energy use shouldn’t mean sacrificing comfort. Heating domestic hot water is typically one of the largest household expenses. That is why we integrate KRONOTERM Domestic Hot Water Heat Pumps into our eco-friendly new builds and historic restorations.

Backed by a family tradition of excellence since 1976, KRONOTERM delivers world-class, environmentally responsible hot water solutions. By capturing ambient air to heat your water, these systems cut your hot water expenses by up to 4 times while reducing CO2 emissions by more than 62%.

Why Choose KRONOTERM for Your Home?

  • Unmatched Energy Savings: Upgrading to a KRONOTERM DHW heat pump delivers an extremely short return on investment—just 6 to 7 years.

  • Free Natural Cooling: While generating hot water, the system extracts heat from the surrounding air. This naturally cools and dehumidifies the room where it is installed—perfect for lowering temperatures in cellars, pantries, or storerooms at no extra cost.

  • Ultimate Health & Safety: All units feature a dedicated anti-Legionella programme that safely heats water above 60 °C, killing any Legionella bacteria in your system.

  • Flexible Air Routing: With the innovative KRONO-FLEX system, air capture and exhaust can be perfectly adapted to your space without mixing hot and cold air streams.

The ESSENTA Heat Pump System

For homes that demand greater comfort and efficiency, ECS proudly installs the new-generation ESSENTA heat pump.

  • Ultra-Quiet Operation: Designed with a structurally separated compressor and an aerodynamic interior, ESSENTA features a state-of-the-art Noise Management System (NMS™), making it one of the quietest devices in its class.

  • Exceptional Efficiency & Solar-Ready: ESSENTA uses up to 75% less energy than traditional water-heating systems. For ultimate off-grid capability, it intelligently connects to your solar power system and automatically uses surplus electricity to heat your domestic water.

  • Eco-Friendly Refrigerant: True to ECS’s sustainable mission, ESSENTA utilises R290 refrigerant, which has a near-zero Global Warming Potential (GWP 0.02).

  • Abundant Hot Water: Capable of providing up to 530 litres of usable water, it reliably meets the needs of both small and large families while keeping operational costs virtually unnoticeable.

Seamless Integration with ECS

Whether paired with an existing biomass boiler, integrated into a smart grid, or set up in a multi-unit cascade for larger buildings, KRONOTERM heat pumps adapt to your lifestyle. ECS handles the seamless installation, bringing you long-lasting comfort, immediate savings, and a beautifully sustainable home.
