Switch to Heat Pump Hot Water – Save on Bills, Use Your Solar Smarter

What Is a Heat Pump Hot Water System?

Think of it like an air conditioner working in reverse.

Instead of generating all the heat directly, a heat pump captures heat from the surrounding air and transfers it into your water.

✅ It uses electricity to move heat - not simply create it.
AIR + ELECTRICITY → HEAT PUMP → HOT WATER

Still Using Gas for Hot Water?

If your gas hot water system is ageing, replacing it with another gas unit may not be your only option.
A heat pump can help you:
🔹 Reduce reliance on gas
🔹 Use rooftop solar for hot water
🔹 Improve household energy efficiency
🔹 Move toward an all-electric home
🔹 Potentially access REPS support

Already Have Solar?
✅ Your hot water tank can act like a thermal battery.
Run your heat pump during the day and store your solar energy as hot water for later use.
SOLAR → HEAT PUMP → STORED HOT WATER

The Worst Time to Choose a Hot Water System Is When Your Old One Has Already Failed.

When hot water suddenly stops, most homeowners simply choose whatever can be installed fastest.

If your current system is getting older, it may be worth comparing your options before it fails.

That gives you time to consider:
🔹 Heat Pump Technology
🔹 Solar
🔹 Warranty
🔹 Tank Quality
🔹 REPS
🔹 Running Costs

Not All Heat Pumps Are the Same.

Before comparing price, compare these five things:
TANK
📌 What is the tank made from, and how is it protected from corrosion?
REFRIGERANT
📌 What heat-pump technology does the system use?
EFFICIENCY
📌 How efficiently does it convert electricity and ambient heat into hot water?
WARRANTY
📌 What is actually covered, and for how long?
AFTER-SALES SUPPORT
📌 Who will help you if something goes wrong in Year 4 or Year 7?

Don't choose a 10+ year appliance based only on the cheapest upfront price.
