Heat pump hot water systems are one of the smartest upgrades you can make for your home. Unlike traditional electric systems that use a heating element to warm water directly, a heat pump works like a reverse refrigerator. It extracts heat from the surrounding air — even in cooler weather — and uses that heat to warm your water. This makes them up to three times more efficient than a standard electric hot water system. Installation typically takes half a day. We'll remove your old unit, install the new heat pump, connect the plumbing and electrical, and commission the system. Most heat pumps qualify for government rebates and Small-scale Technology Certificates, which can reduce your upfront cost significantly. On average, our customers see a 50 to 65 percent reduction in their hot water energy costs. The units are designed to last 10 to 15 years with minimal maintenance.
