The Energy Savers AU Heat Pump Upgrade

Switching to an energy-efficient heat pump hot water system can save you up to 70% on your hot water-related costs. Across Australia, there are a number of initiatives and rebate schemes available to encourage people to make this switch for a better, greener Australia. Schemes such as the Federal Government Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme, Victoria Energy Upgrades Program (VEU) or the NSW Energy Savings Scheme (ESS) are all designed to facilitate a smooth and easy shift to renewable and energy-efficient solutions for Australian households and businesses.


These programs exist to help with the cost of upgrades and to help incur significant savings on energy expenses into the future. At Energy Savers AU, we help you leverage the available schemes and subsidies and take care of you throughout your upgrades.

Why do you need to upgrade your Heat Pump system?

Heat pumps for hot water heating systems move thermal energy from the air to the water using electricity.

It contains an evaporator coil with a refrigerant gas, which absorbs heat from the environment.

After compression in the compressor, the refrigerant’s increased temperature transfers heat to the water in the condenser coil, thereby efficiently heating the water.

Heat pumps are 2–3 times more energy-efficient.

Heat pumps provide significant cost savings.

Reduced greenhouse gas emissions

Reduce maintenance costs

Safer to operate.

Increase in your property value.

Energy Savers Au heat pump products come with a product warranty.

F.A.Q.

Have any Question?

AFTER THE UPGRADE, WHAT KINDS OF SAVINGS CAN I EXPECT?

There are several factors which influence the amount of energy savings an upgrade might yield, such as the local climate, amount of daily water usage and energy tariffs.

Heat pump powered water heaters are 200-350% more energy-efficient and consume 60-75% less electricity than heating element based resistance water heaters.

A typical 190L heat pump water heater consumes about 2.5 kW/day. this could amount to an $182.50 energy bill for water heating in a year, @ 20c/kW.

A conventional 190L electric resistance water heater consumes about 10KW/day and 3650 kW/year — which equates to $730/year, @20 cents/kW. Looking at this example, the heat pump in this case would save you about $547/year.

HOW EFFICIENT ARE HEAT PUMP WATER HEATERS?

Heat pump powered water heaters are 6 – 7 times more efficient than gas fired water heaters and 3 – 3.5 times more efficient the conventional electric water heaters.

WHAT ARE THE REBATES OR INCENTIVES AVAILABLE FOR SWITCHING TO A HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER?

The Victorian state government is offering rebates to eligible Victorian businesses who are planning to replace a traditional water heater with an efficient air-sourced heat pump water heating unit.

The rebates / discounts are being offered to businesses located in Victoria state and Victorian households who are looking to replace their gas fired or electric water heaters with heat pump powered water heating units.

In NSW, homeowners and businesses in NSW can now apply for heat pump hot water rebates under the ESS (Energy Savings Scheme) program, similar to Victoria’s hot water rebate program.

WHAT ARE THE UPFRONT COSTS OF HEAT PUMP WATER HEATERS VS. CONVENTIONAL WATER HEATERS?

Heat pump based water heaters have a higher upfront cost than conventional gas-fired and electric water heaters.

As the running cost of a heat pump water system is approx. 75% less than conventional ones, after about 2.5 years the upfront costs are balanced, and your heat pump starts paying back in the form of energy savings.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO REMOVE THE EXISTING SYSTEM AND INSTALL A HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER?

The time to remove your previous water system and install your new heat pump hot water system will depend on factors such as the complexity of installation and whether electrical upgrades are required.

Typically, a standard replacement takes about 3–6 hours. This includes removing the existing electric water heater, cleaning the workspace, mounting and installing the new heat pump water heater, connecting the electrical and water connections, filling the tank and testing the system to ensure it’s working properly.

WHAT MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED/RECOMMENDED FOR A HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER?

As with the traditional water heaters, heat pump water heaters also need regular maintenance.

We recommend you;

  • Regularly inspect the water heater tank and pipes. Look for any damage or leaks. Also, ensure that the pipe-lines are properly insulated to achieve maximum efficiency.
  • Drain the heat pump tank once a year to flush out any limescale build up at the tank base.
  • Remove and clean the air filter (located at the top of the pump) once every 3–4 months. The system also has an inbuilt sensor that alerts the user and raises an alarm if the air filter needs to be replaced.
  • Check temperature and pressure valve once a year. Open the valve and release the handle to check it returns to its closed position.
    Clean the condensate lines (and empty the drain pan) once a year.
WHAT IS THE AVERAGE LIFESPAN OF A HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER?

The average lifespan of heat pump powered water heaters varies between 10 – 15 years. The heat pump lifespan depends on factors such as:

  • Heat pump installation; is it installed as per the manufacturer’s guidelines?
  • The product and its parts quality,
  • Maintenance,
  • The location of the installation; e.g is there an object that is obstructing the airflow? etc.

Correct installation, using quality products, done by professionals followed by proper maintenance and upkeep will help extend the lifespan of your heat pump water heater.

WILL THE HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER WORK IN THE COLDER CLIMATES OF AUSTRALIA?

Tasmania is the coldest state in Australia, where temperatures drop below -10°C in winter. Heat pump heaters continue to heat water efficiently even when the minimum temperature drops below -20°C.

In Victoria, the Eastern and Central regions (the high altitude regions of the Great Dividing Range), the lowest temperatures fall below 0°C in winter. The heat pump units that Time To Save install under the government program work seamlessly in those regions.

If you are unsure whether a heat pump hot water heater is ideally suited to where you live, contact us today, and we will be more than happy to help you navigate your questions or concerns.

CAN I USE MY EXISTING PLUMBING WITH A HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER?

Some modifications may be required to your existing water pipelines. Our team will inspect the site and let you know if we can use the existing plumbing.

WHAT ARE THE ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR AN ELECTRIC HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER INSTALLATION?

The heat pump water heaters we installed under the VEU program work on a single phase 220-240 mains voltage supply having a 50Hz frequency and a minimum 15A current. These heat pumps are compatible with the supply sockets and standard voltage and current ratings in Victoria.

HOW MUCH SPACE IS NEEDED FOR AN ELECTRIC HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER INSTALLATION?

The space requirements are dependent on the dimensions and size of the heat pump.

Before the installation, our team will inspect the site for space and clearance requirements.

CAN AN ELECTRIC HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER BE INSTALLED OUTDOORS?

Yes. The heat pump water heating units can both be installed outdoors and indoors. In hotter climates, it is recommended that heat pumps are placed indoors.

In Victoria, cities like Mildura, Melbourne, Geelong, and Ballarat have relatively hotter weather conditions and indoor installations are recommended is such places.

ARE HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER NOISY?

The heat pump we install under the VEU program is designed to operate on a low noise level that is barely noticeable.

A spike in the operating noise level is usually caused if the installation is not done correctly, the place of installation is not suitable to the heat pump or one of its part is not working as it supposed to be.

The noise levels also vary depending on what brand and model of the heat pump you are installing.

Regularly maintenance is highly recommended in order to keep the noise levels low.
