The invention of heat pumps in the 1850s created a fork in the road of energy efficiency. This technology not only increased energy efficiency manifold, it also allowed the use of heat pump technology for different purposes like space heating and cooling and water heating.
Despite being more than half a century old, the tech only got popular in the first decade of the 21st century.
Use of heat pump technology in air-sourced heat pump water heating is particularly significant, as Australian homeowners and businesses pay about 25 percent of the total energy bills for water heating.
An energy-efficient air-source based heat pump water heating system can reduce the water heating cost by over 50 percent.
As the Australian government has pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) to zero by 2050, reducing emissions through energy efficiency upgrades, such as gas/conventional water heater to energy-efficient heat pump powered water heating system, is going to be a key piece in solving the net-zero jigsaw puzzle.
Heat pump based water heaters are more efficient than traditional water heaters (gas and electric resistance) but they are not suitable for places where hot water demand is flexible. To maximize efficiency and flexibility, a heat pump with a resistance heating element can be installed. Here is a decision tree to help you pick a suitable water heater:
Find out if you qualify to receive up to $3,000 in government incentives when you upgrade your gas, electric, solar or instantaneous hot water system to an energy-efficient heat pump hot water system.
Victorian households are eligible to have their gas, electric or solar hot water system upgraded to an energy efficient hot water heat pump at a discounted price. Thanks to the state and federal government rebates, such as the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program.
We supply and install a new hot water heat pump for a heavily discounted price (up to $3,000) to eligible households, saving thousands in long term costs and up to 70% off your electricity bills.

Enjoy the benefits of improved energy efficiency and comfort
Energy efficiency: Heat pump based water heaters use about 60% less energy than their conventional counterparts.
Save money: The initial investment in heat pump water heaters are higher than the conventional water heaters. However, this disadvantage can be nullified if you apply for rebates under VEU program. The heat pump water heaters offers significantly lesser operating cost. It results in significant savings over time.
Lesser carbon footprint: As heat pumps use about 60 percent less energy, they will leave lesser carbon footprints than conventional water heaters.
Longer lifespan: Heat pump water heater lasts about 12-15 years, offering about 5-7 years of longer lifespan than the conventional water heaters.
Safety: LPG/Gas water heaters pose a risk of Carbon Monoxide (CO) leaking. As heat pump water heaters are fully electric, there is no risk of any leak of a poisonous gas.
Versatility: Heat pump water heaters can be installed in garages, basements, balcony or near a garden wall.
Property value: As heat pump offer significant energy savings and lesser carbon footprint, which increases property value.
