Love the Evo270-1
I have had the Evo270-1 operating in our home for 9 months (replacing a gas HWU) and I have never run out of hot water even when filling the spa bath. Never looked back and so glad got rid of the gas HWU.

Very please with our purchase
In replacing our gas appliances with energy efficient electrical ones required to run off our solar system, we decided that an Evo270 met our needs for hot water. Our decision to buy the Evo Heat product was based on its ease of operation especially the ability to alter the running time and temperature and other useful parameters using the inbuilt touch screen. Since installation the Evo270 has used very little energy (<2 KWh per day) in our 2-person household.

Wish I replaced it sooner
Concerned about replacing our gas HWS with an electrical. Would my family of 4 have enough hot water, will the shower be warm enough, would it cost more to run than gas?
So now that the EVO270-1 is installed:
- Didn’t notice a lack of hot water.
- Showers are nice and warm, not scolding as they were with gas.
- with one day of running I estimate it is using an extra 3kw/day of Electricity or approx. 80c/day whereas Gas usage cost about $1/day (before the recent price hikes).
Time will tell how reliable this unit is compared to our previous gas ...

Neat Install by Speedy Hotwater in Brisbane
After we've finally decided to replace a faulty electric hot water system with the EVO 270-I heat pump hot water system we were pleasantly surprised by the good sales support and the very quick installation of the system by Speedy Hot Water Services - the next day. The Installation is very neat. Maintenance has to be done after 5 years according to the plumber. Let's hope the system will last as long as the old system - 16 years.
Purchased in at Speedy Hot Water Services for $3,995.

Great Gas Replacement
EvoHeat Picked up the phone in 3 rings8/11/23, answered my questions about the product and the wifi and how to install the wifi. The Tank was installed by Same Day Hot Water and within 2 hours and 15 mins the tank has gone from 22.5 deg to 48.9 deg so pretty sure its working.

Reduced electricity usage by half in Winter!
So far so good. We installed in the middle of winter and the unit has kept up with our hot water demands so far. Occasionally on really cold nights (0 or below), we have to use the boost, but even with the boost on it uses less electricity than our old Rheem electricity hot water storage unit.
The addition of the wifi adapter has also been very helpful with controlling the modes remotely.

Good Aussie product worth having
I’ve had the EvoHeat Evo270-1 for more than five weeks and having previously experienced heat pump technology with the Saxon Copperflow split system would like to relate my experiences with the EvoHeat.
The good:
• Stylish, attractive unit with small footprint
• Installation by Sunpak Hot Water from Maroochydore was first rate
• Can set timers either on unit or by optional wi-fi app to suit your preferences
• Hot, hot water when set to 60 and tempering valve adjusted correctly
The fair:
• Price in mid $3.5K range – some units cheaper, some more expensive
• Support not always available, but when available, pleasant and enthusiastic...

Very happy with this new equipment
We've replaced our old gas water heater (which was still working, but we are wanting to get rid of gas altogether) and we are very happy with this choice.
This unit is quiet and performs well, and we have set it to run between 9-16 so that it can run on solar electricity - it stays hot until the next morning.

Unbelievable product!
I love saving energy and this product does just that while delivering the same quality of hot water. So easy to control, and I can operate the pump from 9am to 3pm making use of my solar power while the family can have a hot water show in the evening or morning

Excellent heat pump hot water
Replaced a very tired Rheem 250L hot water system with the EVO270-1. Had great service from Speedy Hot Water in Brisbane. Rapid drop in power usage to heat water. We’ve set a schedule on the unit’s controller to only use power during the day when our solar is active. Lots of features and easy to use panel. Good amount of water for a 6 person house.

Low power use to get to max temp. Flexible functions with touch screen (turn off when away!). Sunny day today & our solar reheated tank while washing machine was on & still feed extra back to grid. Very happy!

Working Well with our Solar Panels
We replaced our old gas storage HWS with an EVO270. It's been about 2 months now and we are very happy with our purchase. The unit is working well with our solar panels - I use the timer function, to ensure it operates during the day when we are normally producing power. We have had some issues with the App, where it didn't quite calibrate some changes with the unit. I rang to get some help and the technical support was fantastic and ran me through everything. They even recommended a few other tweaks.

Questions & Answers
The bottom relief drain valve 850KPA rated, drips about every 3 seconds all the time.Is that normal.The Evo 370l is near new. Regards
I don’t know what the rate is but it is normal for the unit to lose water while it is operating - I divert it with a pvc pipe into the garden. Contact evo for a better answer.
Can the Evo270 be set above 60 degrees Celsius. Our water is only luke warm by the time it reaches our shower at the far end of the home.
I don’t know if it can be set to 60 degrees. Ours is set at 50 degrees and it is fine. The Evoheat web site says that it can be set to 60 degrees.
NB. I am in Victoria and HWS installations here have ...
We are in Qld, ours was set to 60 degrees and it is very hot, I have reset it to 55 degrees, perfect now.. As previous reply from Martin said it is probably your tampering valve causing the problem.
Hello
we have a EVO 270. And we are seeing spikes in our power usage from 12am to 3am at least once per week, usually on a Tuesday (although this past week it happened on Friday) would there be some unknown setting the heat pump is set out to start going on at this time of day? We only have the heat pump to turn on in the morning at 10am during the winter time, and earlier in the summer. Please let me know
Thanks
Hi Dianne,
This would be due to the Evo270-1's "Sanitech Function" that heats the water once every 7 days to 70C to prevent legionella and other bacteria from forming in the tank. For more informatio...

Thank you, we did consult the manual but it was very confusing. I called the technical support today, and they helped me change the time of day the heat pump is set to go on for this function.
Thank you
