The future of hot water is here
First off, the Thermino ePlus 150 heat battery isn’t your traditional hot water cylinder. Instead of storing large amounts of water, it uses innovative phase change material to store energy as heat, and then delivers hot water on demand. What this means in everyday terms is that it’s compact, efficient, and quick; you won’t need a big bulky cylinder taking up space, and you’ll still enjoy reliable hot water when you need it.

Everyday benefits
• Compact size: ideal for flats or homes with limited space.
• Reliable hot water: always ready when you turn on the tap.
• Works with renewables: future-proof investment if you go solar or install a heat pump.
• Energy-saving: keeps heat locked in, reducing wasted energy.
• Low maintenance: fewer moving parts and less risk of common hot water tank issues.
If you’re considering a greener and more efficient way to store and use hot water at home, the Sunamp Thermino 150 heat battery is a clever bit of kit that deserves a closer look.
Size and Capacity
The 150 model is designed with smaller households in mind, typically 1–2 bedroom homes, flats, or properties with modest hot water needs. It delivers the equivalent of about 150 litres of hot water, which is usually enough for daily showers, washing up, and general use. For families with higher demand, larger models are available, but the 150 strikes a nice balance between capacity and footprint.

Energy efficiency and savings
One of the biggest selling points is efficiency. Unlike a standard immersion heater or hot water tank, the Thermino has very low heat loss. It keeps the stored heat locked in until you use it, so you’re not paying for constant reheating. It also pairs brilliantly with renewable energy systems like solar PV or heat pumps, making it a smart choice if you’re looking to cut bills and your carbon footprint. Even if you’re just on a regular tariff, it can help you shift energy use to off-peak times, saving money while still having hot water on tap.
Installation and design
Because it doesn’t store water, the unit is smaller, lighter, and easier to install than a traditional cylinder. Plumbers appreciate that it reduces the risk of leaks and limescale issues, and homeowners love that it frees up space in cupboards or airing rooms. The design is neat, modern, and discreet, it looks more like an appliance than a tank.

Who it’s best for
The Sunamp Thermino ePlus 150 heat battery is perfect if you live in a small home, flat, or holiday let, and you want a modern, efficient alternative to a hot water cylinder. It’s especially appealing if you’re eco-conscious or looking to make your home more future-ready.
Case Study
Our recent case study in Lambeth in London shows just how flexible the Sunamp Thermino ePlus 150 can be when paired with a renewable heating system. Laura and her family live in a Victorian maisonette, not the textbook candidate for a heat pump because of age, layout, and insulation challenges.
Yet, by combining a Grant Aerona 10 kW air source heat pump with the Thermino 150, they now enjoy reliable, affordable heating and hot water without the disruption of major building works.
Final thoughts
Overall, the Thermino 150 is a smart, space-saving, and eco-friendly solution for domestic hot water. It’s not just about going green, it’s about enjoying reliable hot water, reducing energy waste, and freeing up valuable space in your home. For the right household size, it’s a brilliant investment.
