How Air Source Water Heating Works

The CURV Air Source Cylinder works by extracting free heat energy from the surrounding air using a reverse refrigeration cycle.

Rather than generating heat directly like a traditional immersion heater, the integrated heat pump transfers ambient heat into the stored water, significantly reducing electricity consumption while maintaining excellent hot water performance.

Reduce Energy Bills & Carbon Emissions

The CURV heat pump cylinder can deliver over 3 times more heat energy than the electricity it consumes, helping homeowners:

• Reduce electricity usage
• Lower hot water running costs
• Improve EPC ratings
• Reduce household carbon emissions
• Support renewable energy installations

Smart Control via CÜRV App

Control your hot water system remotely using the CÜRV Smart App, allowing users to:

• Adjust water temperature
• Monitor performance
• Set schedules
• Activate Eco, Boost and Holiday modes
• Manage energy consumption remotely

Flexible Heating Modes

Designed around modern lifestyles with:

Eco Mode

Maximises efficiency and minimises running costs.

Boost Mode

Rapid hot water production when additional demand is required.

Holiday Mode

Reduces energy consumption while away from home.

Quiet & Efficient Operation

The integrated heat pump delivers excellent performance while operating quietly:

• Sound pressure level: 37.7dB at 1 metre
• Maximum sound pressure: 50dB(A)

Perfect for utility rooms, plant rooms and internal installations.
