The geyser that cuts energy use by 85% and never bursts

• New IHP geyser slashes hot-water electricity costs by up to 85% instantly.
• Stainless-steel, no-burst design with smart controls and 10-year warranty.
• Proven technology backed by Nedbank, IOPSA and Builder’s Warehouse.

Why green buildings are embracing smarter water-heating

‍In every South African home and in most residential investment properties, water heating is the single biggest line item on the electricity bill. With tariffs set to rise again in 2026, landlords and homeowners are scrutinising their geysers more aggressively than ever.

Traditional electric geysers are outdated energy guzzlers. They cycle on and off all day, they lose heat, they burst, and they’re expensive to maintain. The shift toward green buildings is forcing property owners to seek solutions that cut costs, reduce environmental impact, and deliver predictable long-term performance.

Enter a game-changer: the Integrated Heat Pump (IHP) geyser, a water-heating system engineered to use less electricity than a kettle — while delivering 50 litres more hot water than a standard geyser.

Meet the IHP geyser: engineered for ultra-low electricity consumption

The numbers are startling:

• A conventional 150L geyser: ±3.5kW per heating cycle, and roughly 11kW daily.
• A 200L IHP geyser: less than 0.5kW to run, delivering continuous hot water for under 1.8kW per day.

That’s an 85% reduction in water-heating electricity consumption,  translating to almost R26,000 saved in the first year, and escalating annual savings as tariffs rise.

‍

“With water heating costs accounting for nearly 60% of a household’s electricity bill and tariffs climbing the IHP geyser delivers measurable returns from the first month, not just theoretical savings,” says Nafisa Fareed, CEO of Power4Less.

And unlike solar geysers or heat pumps that require multiple components, the IHP geyser is fully integrated. No timers, no geyser blankets, no external heat pump units, no extra controllers.

Benefits for property owners and green-building investors

1. Massive monthly savings

Water heating makes up the bulk of electricity consumption in most homes. An 85% reduction dramatically lowers operational costs — a major advantage for:

• body corporates aiming to cut levy pressure
• landlords improving tenant affordability
• investors increasing net yield
• homeowners wanting predictable monthly bills

2. A no-leak, no-burst design

The geyser’s stainless-steel construction eliminates the single biggest risk in residential plumbing: catastrophic geyser bursts.

For investors, this means:

• reduced insurance claims
• fewer emergency callouts
• protection of interior finishes
• lower long-term replacement costs

The unit carries a 10-year warranty, a rarity in the sector.

3. Hot water at 75°C with smart app control

The IHP heats water to 75°C versus the 55°C typical of conventional systems. For even faster recovery, it includes a 2kW backup element.

The accompanying smart app allows property owners to:

• manage temperature remotely
• track usage
• optimise energy savings
• identify anomalies early

For landlords, this is an exceptionally useful maintenance and monitoring tool.

4. Easy ground-level installation

Instead of hiding a geyser in the ceiling where leaks and bursts go unnoticed — the IHP geyser can be placed:

• in the garage
• in the garden
• inside a utility room

This makes inspections easier, reduces installation risk, and enhances long-term serviceability.

5. Compliant, reputable and fully backed

The IHP geyser is supported by major industry partners:

• Nedbank – official financier
• IOPSA – preferred installation partner
• Builder’s Warehouse – preferred retail supplier nationwide
• Power4Less – design and manufacturing partner

This ecosystem ensures quality control, reliability, and national availability.

Why the IHP geyser works: the science behind the savings

The IHP uses integrated heat-pump technology, which draws ambient heat from surrounding air and transfers it into the water. Instead of generating heat directly like a resistive element in traditional geysers, it moves heat, which is vastly more energy-efficient.

This allows the geyser to:

• run at one-eighth the power draw of a standard geyser
• maintain hot water continuously without costly re-heating cycles
• avoid heat loss through the roof
• operate quietly and safely at ground level
• stay cool to the touch, protecting children and pets

The result: stable water temperature, minimal power consumption and exceptionally low running costs.

Where to get it and how to install it

South Africans can purchase the IHP geyser through several national channels:

• Nedbank Avo platform
• Builder’s Warehouse (in-store and online)
• Direct from Power4Less

With IOPSA-accredited installers available nationwide, installation is standards-compliant and straightforward.

A smarter, greener, more resilient water-heating future

‍As electricity tariffs rise and green-building standards tighten, South Africans are being forced to rethink the most inefficient device in the home: the geyser. The IHP solution is not just a product, it’s a financial strategy, a sustainability upgrade and an operational safeguard for property owners.

It uses less power than a kettle.
It never bursts.
It pays for itself within the first year.

For investors, landlords and homeowners seeking future-proof efficiency, the IHP geyser is one of the simplest and most impactful upgrades you can make in 2025 and beyond.
