Heat pumps are one of the most energy-efficient and cost-effective ways to heat water in Australian homes. Unlike traditional electric or gas water heaters, heat pumps work by extracting heat from the surrounding air and transferring it to water, using a refrigeration cycle—similar to how a reverse-cycle air conditioner works.
Why Choose a Heat Pump?
- Energy Saving: Uses up to 70% less electricity than standard electric water heaters.
- Eco-Friendly: Reduces carbon emissions by utilising renewable heat from the air.
- Low Maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep with long-lasting durability.
- Government Rebates: Eligible for rebates and incentives under various energy efficiency schemes.
Power Requirements:
Most domestic heat pumps require standard single-phase 240V power and consume between 300W to 600W during operation. They can often be paired with solar systems to maximise savings and reduce reliance on the grid.
Applications:
- Ideal for residential homes, rental properties, and off-grid solutions
- Works effectively even in colder climates with advanced defrost technology
Perfect for households looking to reduce their energy bills while maintaining consistent hot water supply
