Reclaim Energy is an Australian-based company leading the market in sustainable hot water systems. Over two decades, the company has built a reputation as the go-to provider of innovative, energy-efficient solutions using natural refrigerants, particularly the CO2 refrigerant. Operating under the parent company Solar Thermal Australia, Reclaim Energy and its sister brand Apricus Australia are pioneers in environmental responsibility. Their product offerings align with Australia's commitment to lowering greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy efficiency across the board.
With a mission to combat climate change, Reclaim Energy has developed heat pump hot water systems that are up to 80% more energy-efficient than traditional electric systems. The company’s expansion into international markets, including Vietnam, and national growth with new warehouses in Brisbane and Adelaide, solidifies its standing as a leader in the renewable energy sector. The team, which has grown from 12 to 18 employees in the past year, remains committed to education and awareness, hosting public talks and partnering with community initiatives like Electrify Boroondara and Geelong Sustainability to promote electrification and mass adoption of sustainable technology.
Led by CEO Dr. Chris Taylor, who holds a Ph.D. in leadership and culture, Reclaim Energy maintains an egalitarian, inclusive work environment. The company's leadership emphasizes respect, trust, and flexibility, offering these same values to both local and international employees. Reclaim Energy also stands out as one of the few companies in the top 10 energy brands to exclusively use natural refrigerants in their systems. With a deep commitment to sustainability, Reclaim Energy is not only providing high-performing products but also helping shift the global energy conversation toward greener solutions.
