Hot water heat pumps: the most efficient water heating solution.
Water accounts for approximately 23% of the energy used at an average household. A hot water heat pump is a great idea for when you are after a cost- and energy efficient way of heating the water at your home.
These hot water systems utilise air to generate energy. Using as little as 0.55 kW per hour, making them a cost-efficient solution for water heating all year round. Plus β they are PV-ready, so you can connect them to your solar system.

Key Benefits of Hot Water Heat Pumps

Integration with Solar Power
For those looking to maximise energy savings and further reduce their environmental impact, our hot water heat pumps can be integrated with solar power systems. By using solar energy to power the heat pump, you can achieve near-zero operating costs for your hot water system, making it one of the most sustainable choices available.
We focus on helping you save money with a great return on investment. Contact us for more information or a no-obligation quote.
Rebates and purchase support
As with solar, battery storage and air conditioners, the Australian government offers rebates in the form of STCβs when purchasing a hot water heating system. When you are on a low income, you might be eligible for a No Interest Loan Scheme (NILS) to assist you with purchase costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
A hot water heat pump extracts heat from the air and transfers it to water in a storage tank. It uses electricity to move the heat rather than generate it, making it much more energy-efficient compared to traditional water heaters.
The system works effectively even in cooler temperatures, providing a reliable source of hot water year-round.
Hot water heat pumps can be up to four times more efficient than traditional electric or gas water heaters, leading to significant savings on your energy bills.
The exact savings will depend on your current energy usage and local energy rates, but many users see a reduction of 50-70% in their water heating costs.
Hot water heat pumps typically have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, though many can last longer with proper maintenance. Regular servicing and upkeep will ensure the system operates efficiently and extends its lifespan.
Yes, hot water heat pumps are designed to work efficiently in a wide range of climates, including colder environments. While they may be slightly less efficient in extremely cold conditions, they are still capable of heating water effectively.
Some models are specifically designed to perform well in low temperatures, ensuring consistent hot water supply.
Yes, hot water heat pumps can be integrated with solar power systems. By using solar energy to power the heat pump, you can reduce operating costs to nearly zero, making your hot water system even more environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
In many regions, installing a hot water heat pump may qualify you for government rebates or incentives. These programs are designed to encourage the adoption of energy-efficient technologies and can help offset the initial cost of the system.
It's worth checking with local authorities or your energy provider to see what incentives are available in your area.
