Say goodbye to running out of hot water mid-shower, and arranging replacement bottles for your home or holiday house.
With up to 50% savings on running costs compared to gas heating, the money saved on energy bills will soon cover the cost of the new heat pump.
State-Based Savings.
State and federal energy saving programs dictate the financial incentives and rebates that are available for upgrades.
Victoria
In Victoria, Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs) are credits issued under the VEET scheme for eligible energy upgrades. We bundle these with STCs (Small-scale Technology Certificates) to heavily reduce the upfront cost of a new heat pump hot water system for you.
Additional incentives may be available through the Solar Victoria hot water rebate.
South Australia
Under South Australia’s Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme (REPS), a new heat pump qualifies for financial credits. By combining these with Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) we can greatly reduce the upfront cost of a new heat pump hot water system for you.
New South Wales
The NSW Energy Savings Scheme (ESS) incentivises hot water upgrades with Energy Savings Certificates (ESCs). ESCs combined with Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) allow us to greatly reduce the upfront cost of a new heat pump hot water system for you.
Save up to 70% on Water Heating Costs.
Sustainability Victoria compared running costs from a variety of hot water units to see which option is actually the most cost-effective method of heating your water.
For example, in Victorian the average annual cost to heat water using the common electric storage hot water system is $900. Heat pumps, on the other hand, can do the same job for approximately $685 cheaper (76% less).
It’s important to remember though that each home’s precise running costs will depend on the electricity tariffs, pump model, and hot water usage.
Data from Sustainability Victoria, comparing 5-star gas storage, 7-star gas instantaneous, electric storage, high-efficiency solar electric boosted, 7-star LPG instant, and high-efficiency heat pump, off-peak tariff for 4 people, using 150L per day. Accurate as at 2 August 2023.
How a Heat Pump Works.
Heat pump hot water units self-contain the heating process to limit energy wastage, just like a split system air conditioner.
A fan draws in air which contains heat energy, the gas inside the condenser coil heats the water inside the tank, then reverts to a liquid and continues to the evaporator to begin the process again.

My hot water system was in my linen cupboard. With this government subsidy I could afford to have it removed out side. Theses guys did a fantastic job I had one put in my sons house as well.
Recommended Tank Capacity & Models.
Although the number of people is the biggest factor in your household’s hot water usage, we recommend going off of the amount of bedrooms in your home. This is because the amount of occupants may change over time and with them the demand for hot water.
| Number of Bedrooms | Recommended Unit Capacity |
| 1-2 | 150-225 litres |
| 3 | 225-300 litres |
| 4 | 300-375 litres |
| 5 or more | More than 375 litres |
