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 used in Victorian households, the average annual cost to heat water is approximately $900. In contrast, an Australian hot water upgrade to a heat pump system can cost approximately $685 less annually, representing a remarkable 76% reduction in costs.

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.
The comparison includes a range of systems, such as 5.5-star gas storage, 7-star gas instantaneous, electric storage off-peak, high-efficiency solar electric boosted, instant LPG and high-efficiency hot water heat pump on an off-peak tariff.
We offer two types of heat pump hot water 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.
Learn MoreIn 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.

Opting for a hot water heat pump is a smart investment for homeowners seeking to reduce energy bills and environmental impact. These systems are far more efficient than traditional water heaters, as they utilise the ambient air to heat water, significantly lowering electricity usage. This efficiency translates into marked cost savings on energy expenses over time. Furthermore, by relying on renewable heat sources, hot water heat pumps help decrease the household’s carbon footprint, contributing to environmental conservation. The combination of financial and environmental benefits, along with potential savings from energy rebate programs, makes upgrading to a hot water heat pump a compelling choice.
Yes, there are government incentives available for upgrading to hot water heat pumps in Australia, designed to encourage homeowners and businesses to invest in more energy-efficient technologies. These incentives vary by state and federal programs but often include:
The savings on energy bills from installing a hot water heat pump can be substantial, depending on your current system’s efficiency, your household’s hot water usage, and other factors. According to Sustainability Victoria, households can see significant reductions in their energy consumption for water heating, which is often one of the largest contributors to household energy bills.
While specific savings can vary, Sustainability Victoria provides some general guidance. Upgrading to a more efficient hot water system like a heat pump can lead to savings of up to $200 to $700 annually on energy bills, depending on the old system’s type and efficiency, the cost of electricity, and the amount of hot water used in the home.
Hot water heat pumps are particularly effective because they use approximately one-third the electricity of a traditional electric storage water heater to produce the same amount of hot water. The actual savings for your household would depend on the specific details of your situation, including the size and efficiency of the heat pump installed, your local climate, and your family’s hot water usage patterns.
The installation process for a hot water heat pump is generally straightforward for qualified professionals, but it involves several steps that require expertise. While not overly complicated, the process does differ from a standard hot water system replacement due to the unique operational mechanics of heat pumps. Here’s a simplified overview:
The process is generally completed within a few hours, although the exact duration can vary based on the site’s specifics and any additional preparations required. Employing a certified and experienced installer is key to a smooth installation and the efficient operation of your new heat pump.
The lifespan of a hot water heat pump typically ranges between 10 to 15 years, with proper maintenance and under favorable conditions. However, it’s worth noting that most heat pump manufacturers offer a warranty of 5 years. This warranty usually covers the cost of replacement parts and sometimes labor for repairs due to manufacturing defects or premature failure under normal operational conditions.
The longevity of a hot water heat pump can be significantly influenced by factors such as the quality of the installation, the unit’s brand and model, regular maintenance, and the climate in which it’s installed. Regular maintenance is essential for extending the lifespan of a heat pump and may include tasks such as cleaning filters, ensuring there is adequate airflow around the unit, and having it inspected periodically by a professional.
Hot water heat pumps work well in most climates, performing best in mild to warm conditions where they’re highly efficient at using ambient air to heat water. In colder areas, their efficiency can drop as temperatures fall, but many newer models are designed to operate effectively even when it’s freezing outside, thanks to advanced technology. Extremely cold climates might challenge traditional heat pumps, making ground-source options (which draw heat from the ground) more suitable since they maintain efficiency regardless of air temperature. It’s essential to select a heat pump model appropriate for your climate to ensure optimal performance and energy savings. Consulting a professional can help determine the best choice for your location.
