What is a Heat Pump Hot water system?
A heat pump hot water system works like a fridge in reverse. Instead of generating heat directly (like a traditional electric cylinder) it:
- Pulls heat from the surrounding air
- Compresses it to increase the temperature
- Uses that heat to warm your water
This means that it uses far less electricity than standard systems.
Why choose a Heat Pump System?
Lower Power Bills – Heat pumps typically use 60 – 75% less electricity than standard electric hot water cylinders.
Energy Efficient – They produce more heat energy than the electricity they consume – making them one of the most efficient hot water options available.
Great for Families – Ideal for households using a lot of hot water (i.e. multiple showers, washing and daily use).
Environmentally Friendly – Lower energy use = lower carbon footprint.
How much can you actually save?
Hot water can make up 30% of your power bill. A hot water heat pump can reduce water heating costs by 60 – 75% compared to a standard electric cylinder.
For a typical family this can mean hundreds of dollars per year in savings, especially with increasing power prices.
