How Do Heat Pumps Work?

And Why You Need One!

Fan Icon

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

Boil Icon

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

Compressor Pump Icon

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

Heat transfer

The hot gas inside the condenser coil (piping) heats the water inside the coil-wrapped tank

Recycle Icon

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.

Savings Icon

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

Annual Energy Cost

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 Your Melbourne Home's Hot Water System to Your Lifestyle

CHECK THE PERFECT SIZE FOR YOU

When selecting the perfect hot water system in Melbourne, consider your household’s usage patterns. High demand, frequent use, or larger families may require a more robust system. To optimize efficiency before upgrading to a larger system, consider improving your current appliances, like installing water-efficient showerheads. This can lead to substantial savings in water use and energy costs, ensuring your hot water system is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Hot Water System Tank Size

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
