Want to save up to 80% of your water bill? A heat pump is your best bet for an energy-efficient solution!

What are heat pumps?

Heat pumps are electric boilers that extract heat from the surrounding air through a refrigeration cycle. Essentially, these systems utilise electricity to transfer heat from a cool space to a warm space, similar to a reverse-cycle air conditioner on a heating cycle.

Heat pumps are invented in Australia and are a popular water heating choice among Australian households!

Heat pumps for hot water

In a hot water system, heat pumps use the heat attracted from hot air to heat water in an insulated storage cylinder. Heat pump water heater systems are commonly used in Australia because of their sustainable, energy-efficient qualities.

Because it uses heat from the air and the sun, heat pumps have ‘solar-like’ properties which don’t rely on other energy sources. So, although they can cost more than regular hot water systems, they use significantly less energy, lowering your monthly energy bills!
