Heat Pump Hot Water
The Smartest Way to
Heat Water in 2026
Heat pump hot water systems are the smartest way to heat water in 2026. Instead of burning gas or using electric elements, they extract free heat from the surrounding air—even on cold Melbourne days—and use it to heat your water.
Think of it as a reverse fridge: a fridge pumps heat OUT to keep food cold, a heat pump pumps heat IN to keep water hot. This proven technology turns 1kW of electricity into up to 5kW of heat, making it 4-5x more efficient than traditional systems.
With gas prices rising and Victorian Government rebates now available, thousands of Melbourne homeowners are making the switch.

Is a Heat Pump Hot Water System Right for You?

If your current system is 10+ years old, upgrading to a heat pump can cut your hot water costs by up to 80%.
Homes with rooftop solar panels
Heat pumps work perfectly with solar. Schedule your hot water heating during the day when your panels are generating free electricity.
Families with high hot water usage
Multiple showers, baths, and laundry loads? Heat pumps with 315L tanks keep up with busy households without running out.
Getting off gas before the deadline
From March 2027, Victorian homes must replace gas hot water with electric alternatives when systems reach end-of-life. Get ahead of the rush.
Homeowners wanting lower bills and lower emissions
A heat pump is one of the single biggest reductions you can make to your household's energy use and carbon footprint.
How Does a Heat Pump Hot Water System Work?
Think of it as a reverse fridge. A fridge pumps heat OUT to keep food cold. A heat pump pumps heat IN from the surrounding air to keep water hot.
Fan pulls in air
Even cold air contains heat energy
Refrigerant absorbs heat
A special gas captures the warmth
Compressor concentrates heat
Turns low-grade warmth into high-temperature heat
Heat exchanger transfers to water
Hot water is stored in an insulated tank
The result? For every 1kW of electricity used, you get 4-5kW of heat. That's why heat pumps use up to 80% less energy than traditional electric systems.
