Heat pump hot water systems use electricity efficiently by moving heat from the air into the tank. For many Melbourne homes replacing an ageing electric or gas unit, they’re a strong efficiency upgrade — especially alongside rooftop solar.
Sizing and placement
- Match tank size to household peak demand (morning showers, dishwashers)
- Allow airflow clearance — heat pumps need space and make modest fan noise
- Confirm electrical circuit capacity and isolation at the switchboard
- Ask about rebates or incentives available at the time of install
Solar pairing
Running a heat pump during high solar production can lift self-consumption. We’ll coordinate timer/smart controls with your tariff and inverter setup where it makes sense.
If your switchboard or circuit is undersized, we scope that upfront so the hot-water upgrade doesn’t become a mid-job surprise.
