Heat pump water heaters are the talk of the town. They are a smart, energy-efficient, and easy-to-install solution, especially for homes where a traditional rooftop solar water heater may not be suitable. With ever-increasing energy costs, a heat pump can be a welcome addition to your home as it will help reduce the amount of energy you need to heat water. It works like an air conditioner on a reverse cycle, using the energy in the surrounding air to heat water.
If you’re considering a heat pump water heater, here are five reasons why you should make the switch:
1. Easy Replacement for an Electric Water Heater
Replace your old electric water heater without fuss. Heat pumps often use existing electrical and plumbing connections, making for an easier and hassle-free replacement to enjoy energy efficient hot water no matter if it’s cloudy, rainy, or sunny.
2. Eligible for Government Incentives
Heat pumps are eligible for government incentives that help reduce the upfront cost of installation. The Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) is a Federal Government scheme offering financial incentives known as Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) for switching from an electric or gas to a heat pump system.
The amount you can save depends on your location and how much energy your new heat pump will displace. Additionally, some states have their own incentives that can be used in addition to STCs for a heat pump installation:
New South Wales: Energy Savings Scheme (ESS)
Victoria: Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU)
South Australia: Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme (REPS)
3. Efficient Option
The Coefficient of Performance (COP), a measure of efficiency, is determined by dividing the energy output by the energy input. A high COP means that the heat pump supplies significantly more heat energy to the water than it consumes in electricity.
4. Save up to 7O% on your hot water running costs.
The savings don’t stop at installation. By replacing your existing hot water heater with a heat pump, you could save up to 70% on your hot water energy consumption. Given that hot water makes up around a quarter of an average Australian household’s energy usage, switching to a heat pump can make a positive difference to your energy consumption.
5. Never Be Stuck Without Hot Water
A quality heat pump will have a backup heating element to ensure you are never left without hot water. For extra peace of mind, you can activate the manual heating mode if the system stops working for any reason, ensuring you stay in hot water until the unit is serviced.
