The Benefits of Heat Pump Hot Water Installation Sydney

A hot water heat pump system has several benefits, the main benefit being low energy usage. A heat pump hot water system extracts heat from the air to heat your water – even in sub-zero temperatures. It’s an energy-efficient solution that works hard without running up your energy costs.

A heat pump hot water system has four components –

  • the evaporator/heat exchanger transfers heat from the outside in
  • the compressor then pressurises heated liquid refrigerant into a gas and transfers it
  • the condenser circulates the hot gas (heating the cold water), sending it throughout the system to recirculate as the gas cools
  • the expansion valve controlling the release of hot pressurised gas and cool expanded/condensed liquid refrigerant through the system

Unlike a solar hot water system, you won’t run out of hot water just because the sun isn’t shining.  Heat pump hot water systems still run efficiently in some of the coldest environments – easily capable of delivering hot water even when you hit grey Sydney winters.

Heat pump hot water systems are growing in popularity the world over due to their efficiency, lower running costs and low maintenance requirements. Instead of using energy to generate heat the way other systems do, a heat pump moves or transfers it, which means it produces fewer greenhouse gases while using less energy. In addition to fewer carbon emissions, a heat pump hot water system has fewer safety risks.

A heat pump hot water system can last up to and even beyond 20 years, providing energy savings that don’t stop.

Maximising Savings with a Heat Pump Hot Water Unit

Perhaps the greatest benefit is that a heat pump hot water system is more efficient than an electric system, using up to 75% less energy. You can increase your savings by combining it with rooftop solar PV panels to further reduce running costs.

Many people are put off by the upfront cost, but that’s why it’s so important to claim the available rebates – the utility cost savings combined with the rebates make it a choice you can’t afford to ignore.

Right now you can beat the cost by claiming the Federal Government’s Small Scale Technology Certificates (STC) to save hundreds of dollars on your new unit.  It is important to note that STC’s reduce from 31 December each year – so RIGHT NOW is the time to order your heat pump or solar hot water system and maximise those savings.

Better yet, you don’t need to worry about paperwork. Gladesville Plumbing Services will handle it for you.  As an authorised business, we’ll calculate the savings and submit the paperwork once you choose the right system for your home. We subtract the rebate credits from the installation cost for instant savings and we’ll handle the manufacturer paperwork too. Any savings will come directly from the price you pay.

In addition to the Federal Government’s STC’s, Sydney residents have access to the NSW Government’s Energy Savings Scheme. This scheme makes it even more affordable to have a heat pump hot water system installed, allowing you to benefit from lower hot water heating costs, year after year after year. Sydney residents can save up to $310 when upgrading from a gas system, while homeowners upgrading from an electric system can save up to $670.

The combined cost savings could put thousands back in your pocket!

How do you know which product is right for you? Factor in the other options, what savings they offer, size, climate, and product warranties.

It’s imperative to take into consideration the size of your home and the demand it will need to meet, when choosing the right hot water system. If you have a large home or a growing household with a lot of laundry, or you’re a fan of long showers and bubble baths, you might need a larger system to accommodate your needs. The best way to get the size right is to discuss your needs with an installer, like Gladesville Plumbing.

Your installer will also provide advice on the best location for installation. While heat pump technology has come a long way, the pump compressor is slightly noisier than other systems – though it should not really be any louder than that of a refrigerator or airconditioner. For this reason it is important to consider the heat pump unit’s proximity to bedrooms, as well as to the main hot water usage area.

Don’t forget to check the warranty and what it covers.

Don’t miss out on major savings. Make the call to Gladesville Plumbing Services to get the ball rolling on your hot water heat pump today. Don’t forget there’s a reduction in STCs after December 31st. To avoid missing out on bigger savings, you have to act now!
