iStore – Air to Energy systems utilise the latest compressor technology to naturally extract heat energy from the air and store it in the form of hot water for later use. Designed in Australia for Australian conditions, the iStore is one of the most cost-effective dual-purpose storage solutions available.
Hot Water System Sydney
The iStore hot water system revolutionises how your home generates hot water by utilising a natural source – AIR!
Water heating can account for up to 30% of the total energy usage for the average Australian home. Thanks to the dynamic efficiency of the iStore, it can reduce hot water heating costs by up to 70%, utilising intelligent technology which converts air into hot water via the transfer of thermal energy. Maximise the potential of the iStore by syncing it with a solar power system. The easy-to-use, built-in smart timer will offset any excess power to the iStore, saving you even more.
Key Benefits
- 1. Highly energy efficient
- 2. Government incentives
- 3. Generates hot water all year round
- 4. Environmentally friendly
- 5. Suitable for narrow areas
- 6. Electronic user-friendly controller
- 7. Further savings benefits with pre-existing solar power system
WATER HEATING COST COMPARISON
Heating hot water for your home accounts for up to a quarter of your electricity costs for the average Australian household. The iStore reduces hot water heating consumption by two-thirds of conventional electric or gas storage systems while reducing CO2 emissions by 4 tonnes. Installing an iStore could save you up to $1,000* per year on your energy bills.
How iStore works
- 1. A fan draws in air, containing heat energy, across the evaporator
- 2. The evaporator turns the liquid refrigerant into a gas
- 3. The compressor pressurises the refrigerant into a hot gas
- 4. The hot gas inside the condenser coil heats the water inside the coil-wrapped tank
- 5. The refrigerant reverts back to a liquid after heating the water and continues to the evaporator for the process to start again
- 6. The cycle continues until the set target temperature is achieved.
- 7. As water is used in the home, the cycle will restart once the temperature in the tank has dropped below 45 °C

FAQs
What is an iStore?
Will the iStore ever run out of hot water?
The iStore range includes the 180L for up to 4 people in a water-conscious household whereas our 270L is the family size unit. The 180L can produce on average 1600 litres per day in ECO mode and 1900 litres per day from the 270L in ECO mode. Talk to us about your individual need.
How much money can I save?
By installing an iStore, you can save up to $1000 per year.
How long before my system pays itself back?
How long before my system pays itself back should be changed to “Based on 200 litres per day usage (4 people) a household replacing electric storage or 10-year-old gas system could expect a return on investment to be approximately 3 years when factoring in the replacement / purchase cost of a traditional hot water system.
Are government incentives still available?
Yes. Depending on your residing state in Australia,
customers replacing existing traditional hot water systems may be eligible for $800 to
$3000 off their system cost!
Is the iStore technology safe?
Compared to conventional gas and electric resistive hot water systems, the iStore surpasses the latest Australian Standards for safety. With an incredibly low power draw when in operation (less than a household kettle), the iStore seamlessly integrates with existing electrical infrastructure in any Australian home or business.
Can I replace an existing gas or electric hot water system?
Yes - the iStore is an ideal replacement for existing gas or electric hot water systems. In fact, installing an iStore when replacing existing hot water systems takes about the same time as installing a traditional gas or electric hot water system.
How noisy is the compressor?
The team behind iStore invested over 10,000 man-hours ensuring the compressor would be as quiet as possible, without sacrificing efficiency. The iStore has been independently tested to 46.6dB at 1m. It’s an amazing achievement and it has one of the quietest systems available on the market.
Does the iStore have a booster?
Yes – on occasions during high demand there may be a need to start the booster during heat cycles or even outside the heat cycles, simply press the booster button for a manual boost. NOTE this is a one-time boost and will not operate during the next heat cycle.
