With electricity tariffs set to rise again in 2026, households and businesses are under increasing pressure to cut energy costs. The innovative integrated heat pump (IHP) geyser from Power4Less offers a breakthrough solution, reducing water‑heating expenses by up to 85% while delivering reliable, eco‑friendly performance.
Unlike conventional geysers that rely on electricity-hungry elements, the IHP geyser harnesses natural heat from the surrounding air. A fan draws air into the system, where heat is absorbed, compressed, and transferred directly into the water. This cycle repeats continuously, consuming less than half a watt of power, less than a kettle, and cutting energy usage by up to 85% when compared to traditional geysers. The numbers speak for themselves:
A 200 L electric geyser uses a 4 kW electric element to heat water to 55 °C. The average cost of electricity is R3.91 per kWh (2025 prices). Let’s assume this geyser is used once in the morning and once in the evening for two showers. This equates to an electricity spend of ±R78.20 per day or R2,377 per month over 30.4 days.
In comparison: The IHP geyser uses 0.5 kW to heat water to 60 °C on both the 200 L and 300 L models. This is up to 85% less power usage. We’ll keep electricity costs at R3.91 per kWh and the same morning and evening usage for two showers. This equates to an electricity spend of just R7.04 per day or R214 per month over 30.4 days. This is a saving of R2,163 every month and annual savings of up to R26,000! Savings are also compounded as tariffs continue to rise.
The IHP geyser integrates seamlessly with smart app controls and a colour touchscreen keypad, allowing users to adjust water temperature or power down remotely during holidays or off-peak business periods.
To prevent those “geyser bursting at 3am” fiascos, the IHP geyser is crafted in stainless steel, designed not to leak or burst, and carries a robust 10-year warranty. The IHP geyser also carries an exceptional suite of local and global certifications, which affirm its compliance with the highest international safety and performance standards, including SABS, NRCS, TUV, IEC, and EU A+ efficiency ratings.
Power4Less, one of the country’s leading suppliers of energy efficiency solutions, is the powerhouse behind the innovative IHP geyser. Power4Less CEO Nafisa Fareed stated that: “The IHP geyser represents a complete rethink in energy usage. Where the geyser was previously the biggest user of power in a household or business, the IHP geyser becomes the biggest energy saver. Our clients see the value, not just in theory, but in measurable returns from the first month.”
The revolutionary product is backed by some of South Africa’s most trusted brands, including Nedbank as the official financier, the Institute of Plumbing South Africa (IOPSA) as the preferred installer, and Builder’s Warehouse as the preferential supplier.
Through Nedbank’s innovative affordable financing mechanism, supported by full supply, installation, maintenance, and insurance services, businesses can enjoy the benefits monthly while the geyser pays for itself with the savings generated.
The IHP geyser is compatible with electric, solar, and hybrid power systems. It is available at Builder’s Warehouse, accredited hardware and plumbing stores, and via the Nedbank Avo platform.
