Can we truly enjoy a relaxing shower knowing it releases tons of CO₂ into the air and drives up our monthly energy bills – just for hot water? Domestic hot water heating is one of the largest, yet most overlooked, energy consumers in households. Its environmental impact is comparable to the emissions of an average car, while its financial share often represents a significant portion of overall energy costs. 

 

At KRONOTERM, a pioneer in heat pump technology, the launch of the new ESSENTA heat pump water heater revealed a striking fact: every installation reduces environmental impact equivalent to removing one car from the road. 

One Device, 50 Years of Experience

ESSENTA is the result of half a century of development and expertise.  We began developing heat pump water heaters long before anyone else in Europe was even considering them. Over these 50 years we’ve tested it all – devices for small and large tanks, various space configurations, even models that cooled milk while heating water. All that experience has been distilled into ESSENTA,” explains CEO Bogdan Kronovšek. 

The new pump is the most efficient (1) heat pump water heater on the European market and can deliver up to 530 liters of hot water – more than enough for households, apartments, or commercial spaces.

Plug It In and Forget It

ESSENTA was designed with simplicity in mind: choose it, install it, and then forget about it.  When we open the tap, we all want just one thing – hot water, immediately and without hassle. But reality is often different: many people have to switch on heaters, burn fuel, or face high bills. ESSENTA eliminates all that – set it once and it takes care of the rest, always ensuring enough hot water,” says Head of Development Franc Marovt. 

The result: hot water on demand, whisper-quiet operation, minimal energy use, and virtually no maintenance. 

A New Level of Quiet Comfort

KRONOTERM placed special emphasis on comfort. With a separate compressor section and aerodynamically optimized interior, ESSENTA runs almost silently. Our goal was to create a system you’ll hardly notice workingexcept for the fact that hot water is always ready,” the company explains. The benefit is greater everyday comfort and a longer product lifespan.

Efficiency that Cuts Costs 

From the same electricity input, ESSENTA generates more than four times as much usable heat. That means households can cut their hot water energy consumption by up to 75% compared to conventional electric heaters. 

For a typical four-person household, the savings could add up to the value of a small family car over 15 years—though the exact amount depends on what heating system is replaced and where you live.

Because it extracts heat from the air, ESSENTA also provides free cooling to the room where it’s installed or adjacent spaces. Combined with solar PV, it can produce hot water at virtually no cost.  In practice, it works much like a home battery. When there’s surplus solar electricity, ESSENTA automatically heats water to a higher temperature, storing the energy as heat. That energy is then available later, when the sun is gone,” adds Franc Marovt. 

European Expertise, European Future 

ESSENTA is fully designed and manufactured in Europe – from the first sketch to the final product. This ensures total quality control, use of the best materials, and rapid adaptation to customer needs across Europe. 

For 50 years, we’ve been tailoring our heat pump water heaters to people’s habits and needs. ESSENTA is the best solution for European households and businesses alike. At the same time, we prioritize local and European components, because preserving skills and knowledge in Europe matters to us,” concludes Bogdan Kronovšek. 

And ESSENTA delivers more than just savings. Every installed unit means fewer emissions, cleaner air, and a lighter environmental footprint. It allows users to enjoy the comfort of hot water while knowing that each shower is also a contribution to a sustainable future.
