Most people hear that heat pumps can save up to 80 percent electricity, but very few understand how. At Knaps, we prefer numbers over claims. Because behind every unit of power saved lies engineering logic, not guesswork. Let’s decode the real math behind how a Knaps Heat Pump consistently reduces your electric bills.
What a Geyser Really Consumes
A standard electric geyser works on a simple principle it uses a heating coil that directly converts electricity into heat. It does the job, but it does so inefficiently. To heat around 100 liters of water every day, a 2-kilowatt geyser typically runs for about two hours. That means about four units of electricity are consumed daily. Over a month, that adds up to 120 units. At an average electricity rate of eight rupees per unit, you’re spending close to nine hundred and sixty rupees each month on hot water. And this is for just one geyser. A typical household with multiple bathrooms or an apartment with centralized heating can easily spend several thousand rupees a month just to maintain a steady supply of hot water.
How a Heat Pump Changes the Equation
A Knaps Heat Pump does not create heat the way a geyser does. Instead, it transfers heat from the surrounding air to the water using a refrigeration cycle. That one change in principle makes a huge difference in performance and efficiency. For every single unit of electricity consumed, the system can move three to four units of heat energy. Engineers call this the Coefficient of Performance, or COP. In simple words, you get four times the work done for the same input of power.
If you apply the same example again heating 100 liters of water each day a Knaps Heat Pump would typically use only one to one-point-two units of power instead of four. Over a month, that equals roughly thirty to thirty-six units. Even at the same tariff, your monthly expense drops to just two hundred and forty to two hundred and eighty rupees. That’s a clear and measurable saving of around seventy percent.
Real Savings, Every Month
These numbers are not theoretical. They hold steady across projects, climates, and usage patterns. For a family, it means significant monthly savings that add up year after year. For hotels, hospitals, or residential complexes with multiple bathrooms, the impact is even larger. Such establishments end up saving thousands of units of electricity and lakhs of rupees annually. At scale, the difference is not just in your electricity bill it reflects in reduced transformer load, lower maintenance costs, and compliance with energy-efficiency norms that are becoming mandatory in modern infrastructure.
Proven Performance Across Projects
Knaps systems installed across Gujarat and Maharashtra have demonstrated these results repeatedly. Residential buildings have seen electricity bills drop by more than seventy percent in the first billing cycle. Hotels with round-the-clock hot water have achieved their investment payback in just over a year and a half. Industrial kitchens and canteens have reported reductions of nearly eight hundred units of power every month. These figures are not projections or assumptions; they come from live operating data across multiple sectors.
Hidden Savings You Don’t Notice
The visible savings come from lower energy use, but the invisible ones matter just as much. Because Knaps Heat Pumps have no heating coils or gas combustion, they need very little maintenance. They last longer often more than a decade and maintain consistent efficiency over time. There are no safety hazards from electric coils in the water tank, no scaling, and no soot. The result is consistent hot water, steady performance, and peace of mind. Over time, the total cost of ownership turns out to be far lower than any traditional geyser or boiler system.
A Payback That Makes Sense
For most homes and commercial properties, the return on investment for a Knaps Heat Pump usually falls between fourteen and twenty-four months. After that, every rupee saved is profit. The system quietly pays for itself and continues to reduce your operational costs for years. It’s like installing an engineer that works around the clock silently, intelligently, and efficiently.
The Knaps Perspective
The real math isn’t just about electricity bills. It’s about a new way of thinking a shift from consumption to conservation. Every rupee you save on your bill is a small act of sustainability, a small reduction in carbon emissions, and a small contribution to a smarter India. When thousands of buildings adopt this mindset, savings turn into collective progress.
Knaps Heat Pumps are not just cutting costs; they are redefining how modern India approaches comfort, energy, and efficiency. Because when design meets discipline, the results speak louder than numbers.
