How Do Heat Pumps Work?
External air is drawn into the heat pump
External air is drawn into the heat pump system via a fan into an evaporator containing a special type of refrigerant, which is stored in piping
Heat transfer
The hot gas inside the condenser coil (piping) heats the water inside the coil-wrapped tank
The refrigerant boils
The warmth in the air boils the refrigerant turning it from a liquid into a gas inside the heat pump’s piping
Heat pump cycle begins again
The temperature of the refrigerant has now dropped dramatically as the heat has been drawn away, so it returns to a liquid state and the heat pump cycle begins again
A compressor pumps the refrigerant
A compressor then pumps the now gaseous refrigerant through a small valve, which compresses it ; this process generates a great deal of heat
Savings from thin air
Given the fact heat pumps don’t use electricity but air to heat hot water, they are upto 80% more energy efficient than electric hot water systems, saving you money
Save Money With A Heat Pump System
Sustainability Victoria has conducted a valuable analysis comparing the running costs of various hot water appliances to help consumers identify the most cost-effective method for water heating. This data sheds light on the economical and sustainable options available for households.
For instance, when considering the very common electric storage hot water system used in Victorian households, the average annual cost to heat water is approximately $900. In contrast, heat pump systems can perform the same task for approximately $685 less annually, representing a remarkable 76% reduction in costs.
It’s important to note that the precise running costs for each home will vary depending on factors such as electricity tariffs, the specific pump model, and hot water consumption patterns. Heat pump hot water units are particularly appealing due to their self-contained heating process, which minimises energy wastage. This efficiency is comparable to the performance of a split-system air conditioner, making them a sustainable and cost-effective choice for water heating.
Tailoring the Perfect Hot Water System Size for Your Box Hill Household
CHECK THE PERFECT SIZE FOR YOU
Understanding your household’s hot water usage patterns is vital in choosing the ideal system. High usage scenarios, like multiple residents or frequent baths, might require a larger system. Before opting for a bigger hot water system in Box Hill, consider enhancing the efficiency of your appliances, such as installing water-saving showerheads. This can reduce both water usage and energy bills, ensuring that your hot water system is cost-effective and eco-friendly.
Consider your household's behavior when determining the ideal hot water system size
The frequency and timing of your hot water use play a crucial role in selecting the right system. High hot water consumption, such as multiple people in your home or regular baths, may warrant a larger system. Before investing in a larger hot water system, consider upgrading the efficiency of your appliances, such as installing efficient showerheads. This can reduce water use and energy bills, ensuring that your hot water system is both economical and environmentally friendly

it's essential to pick a reliable Heat Pump that will stand the test of time
When upgrading to an efficient hot water system, it’s essential to pick a reliable model that will stand the test of time. The VEU program offers two types of heat pump hot water systems:
Integrated Systems
These integrate the heat pump components with the tank in a single unit. Not only are they more compact, but they also streamline the installation process.
Split Systems
In a split system, the heat pump component is housed separately, offering flexibility in the placement of the two components. Don’t miss out on the VEU program and the remarkable savings it can bring to your household.
