Efficient. Reliable. Ready for Solar – or Not.
If you’re looking to upgrade your home’s hot water system, a heat pump is one of the smartest choices you can make. Designed to draw in ambient air and convert it into heat, heat pump hot water systems offer major energy savings — especially when compared to older electric or gas units.
Compared to traditional systems, heat pumps can reduce your water heating costs by up to 70%. For most Australian homes, hot water makes up around 25–30% of total energy use — so switching to a heat pump can have a noticeable impact on your power bill. Here’s how heat pumps compare:
3 Star Gas Storage LPG
Electric Storage
4 Star Gas Storage (Natural)
5 Star Gas Storage (Natural)
Heat Pump Peak Connection
Roof Mount Solar Electric Boost
Heat Pump with Solar Off-set
*Actual savings may vary depending on location, household usage, solar power system and climate conditions
When paired with rooftop solar, heat pumps become even more cost-effective — letting you use excess solar generation to heat your water during the day, effectively turning your hot water system into a form of energy storage.
