Hot Water Heat Pumps

Heating water accounts for up to 30% of energy use in the average Australian household. Heat pumps in Adelaide offer up to 75% more efficiency than traditional electric hot water systems, making them a smart choice for energy savings.

How Heat Pumps Work
Heat pumps use the same technology found in reverse-cycle air conditioners. A fan draws in air, which contains heat energy, across the evaporator. This converts the liquid refrigerant into gas, and the compressor then pressurises it into a hot gas, which heats the water in the tank. The refrigerant turns back into liquid, and the cycle repeats, absorbing heat from the air and transferring it into the water, making the process up to 75% more efficient than electric systems.

A heat pump is an energy multiplier, converting 1kW of power input into over 4kW of heat output, offering a remarkable 400% efficiency compared to conventional water heaters that can only convert 1kW of power into 1kW of heat.

Perfect for Solar Homes

Heat pumps are particularly well-suited to solar-powered homes, as they require minimal power and can be fully powered by solar energy. They are also a great replacement for gas hot water systems, which are around four times less efficient. By switching to a heat pump, you can save on gas meter fees (around $220 per year) and enjoy free solar-powered hot water.

Additionally, you may be eligible for rebates when disconnecting gas, helping you maximise your savings while enhancing energy efficiency in your home.
