Tired Of What Hot Water Costs You?
A heat pump does not make heat, it moves it. A compressor and fan pull warmth from the air into the water in the tank. It uses roughly a third of the electricity of a standard resistance tank.
The tank looks like a conventional electric unit, the hot water at the tap is no different, and the bill is a lot smaller. Pair it with rooftop solar and the sums get better again.
There are trade-offs worth knowing. The unit costs more up front than a like-for-like electric tank, it needs an outdoor position with real airflow, and the compressor makes noise while it runs. Those decide whether your house suits one.

Placement decides whether you are happy with it. Boxed into a narrow side passage, the unit recirculates its own chilled exhaust and works harder for less. We look for clearance, service access, a condensate drain run, and a wall not shared with a bedroom.
Noise is the other consideration. A compressor and fan makes a hum comparable to a split system outdoor unit. Most models let you set the heating cycle for the afternoon, which suits solar and keeps it quiet while people sleep.
Melbourne winters are well within range for a decent heat pump. Efficiency drops on cold mornings and the unit runs longer or uses its electric boost. Size for winter, not summer. The compliance work matches any hot water installation.

Incredible and reliable service! I had an emergency situation with a blocked drain and overflowing sewage in my garden late afternoon on a 43 degree day. I found Kurt's details online, he arrived with all of his equipment within 30 minutes. Worked tirelessly in intense heat to identify the issue (which was actually impacting my neighbours house too, they didn't know because they were away!). Kurt made contact with relevant water and council services and used his years of training and experience to resolve the issue. Friendly, professional, no-nonsense service. 10/10 would recommend!

We initially thought this was just a simple blockage that we could fix ourselves, but the team at Elite Plumbing quickly showed us it was more than that. They took the time to properly investigate the issue, explained everything clearly, and walked us through what needed to be done without overcomplicating things. You could tell straight away they really knew what they were doing. What stood out the most was how easy they were to deal with, communication was smooth, they were responsive, and always followed up. No chasing, no confusion, just clear and honest updates. It's not often you come across a team that is both professional and genuinely easy to work with. Really appreciate their help and would highly recommend Elite Plumbing to anyone

Heat Pump Hot Water FAQs
As a rule of thumb it uses about a third of the electricity a standard resistance tank uses for the same hot water, because it moves heat rather than creating it. Your actual saving depends on your tariff, household usage and whether you have solar.
Support has been available in Victoria for efficient hot water upgrades, and eligibility depends on the property, the system you are replacing and the model you install. Programs change, so we go through what currently applies to your situation before you commit.
An all-in-one unit takes a similar footprint to a storage tank but needs proper clearance around the air intake and outlet, so it cannot be squeezed into a tight side passage. Split systems put the tank in one place and the compressor elsewhere.
That is one of the best reasons to get one. Most units let you set the heating window, so it draws power in the middle of the day while your panels are producing. The tank holds that hot water for the evening.
Plenty of our customers do. It means an outdoor position with airflow, a suitable electrical circuit, and decommissioning the gas appliance safely. If the rest of the house still runs on gas, you keep the supply charge, which changes the payback sum.
We do, working out of Glenroy and covering the whole of Melbourne, with most jobs in the north and north-west. Tell us what system you have now and where it sits. Our hot water systems page covers the other options.
