How Do Heat Pumps Work?

And Why You Need One!

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.

Choosing the Right Hot Water System for Your Bendigo Home

CHECK THE PERFECT SIZE FOR YOU

When it comes to choosing the perfect hot water system for your Bendigo home, it’s crucial to evaluate your household’s water usage habits. If your household has a high demand for hot water, perhaps due to a larger family or frequent use of baths, you might need a system with a higher capacity. It’s essential to match the size of your hot water system to your actual needs to ensure efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

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

Types of Heat Pump Hot Water Systems

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

These are the most commonly asked questions. can’t find what you’re looking for ? Get in touch today!

01. What are the key benefits of a heat pump water system?

Heat pump water systems are significantly more energy-efficient than traditional electric storage water heaters, using less electricity and harnessing renewable energy. They operate with 80% greater efficiency, providing hot water consistently regardless of weather conditions.

02.How do heat pump hot water systems achieve high efficiency?

These systems use Heat Pump technology, functioning similarly to an air-conditioner or fridge in reverse. They draw in air with ambient heat, converting it to gas, which is then pressurized to create heat for the water. This process is highly efficient and repeats continuously.

03. Why is an external installation required for heat pump systems?

Heat pump systems need ample airflow, akin to split system air conditioners, necessitating their installation outdoors. Costs for relocating existing systems to an external location can range from $499-$999, depending on various factors like roof access.

04. Does the upgrade service cover the Bendigo area?

Yes, Bendigo is one of the areas serviced for these upgrades, alongside Greater Melbourne, Seymour, Geelong, Ballarat, Shepparton, and Wangaratta.

05. Can I upgrade my gas hot water system to a heat pump under this program?

Currently, upgrading from a gas hot water system to a heat pump is not covered under the Victorian Energy Upgrades regulations.

06. Will a heat pump work in all climates?

Yes, hot water heat pumps are designed to operate efficiently in a wide range of climates, including colder regions. They can extract heat from the air even in lower temperatures.

07. What if I'm unsure about my current hot water system type?

If you’re uncertain about your existing system type, the technical team can assist in identifying it. Contacting us via the registration form is recommended for this assistance.
