What is a heat pump? And how does it work?
Heat pump hot water systems utilise refrigerants and a pump to extract heat from the outside air. This heat is then transferred into a storage cylinder where the water is heated.
Unlike solar hot water systems, heat pumps are not gas or electric boosted. They are extremely efficient and only rely on a small amount of electricity to operate the compressor and evaporator fan when heating water.
System Cost and Eligibility
Any Victorian household with an inefficient hot water system is eligible for an upgrade to a heat pump.
There may be multiple rebates available to you, so it is important to seek quotes from reputable accredited providers of the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program.
The cost of the new system will vary based on the provider, product quality, system size, and ease of installation. The VEU Water Heating Fact Sheet provides information on the size of system you'll need, as well as other considerations.
The rebate you receive will depend on your existing hot water system, the efficiency of the new product, and whether or not you qualify for other government rebates.
In general, you could expect to pay between $600 - $3,000 for a heat pump after the rebates have been applied. Try out the savings calculator to view potential energy savings per year.
