Why switch
The cheapest way to heat water in Australia
Heat pumps don't burn anything. They move heat from the outside air into your hot water tank — using 60–75% less energy than a conventional electric element or gas storage system.
Cut your carbon by tonnes
Switching from gas hot water removes around 3 tonnes of CO₂e per year — bigger than going vegetarian or driving an EV for most homes.
Works brilliantly with solar
Timer or smart controls let your heat pump run during the day on free solar power, dropping your hot water bill toward $0.
Quiet, safe, set-and-forget
About as loud as a modern fridge. No flame, no flue, no carbon monoxide. 10-year tank warranties are standard.
Installs in half a day
Most swaps from electric or gas take 3–4 hours by a licensed plumber. You'll have hot water back the same afternoon.
Right-sized for your home
270L–315L tanks suit most 3–5 person households. We help you size correctly so you never run out — and never overpay.
Pairs perfectly with rooftop solar
Turn daytime sunshine into a year of nearly-free hot water
A heat pump only draws 2–4 kWh per day. Schedule it to run between 10am and 3pm and a modest 6.6 kW solar array can cover almost every shower in the house — for free.

In 60 seconds
How a heat pump heats your water
It's the same physics as a reverse-cycle air conditioner or your kitchen fridge. A refrigerant absorbs warmth from the outside air, a compressor concentrates that heat, and a coil transfers it into the water tank.
- 1
Captures ambient heat
A fan draws in outside air, even on cool mornings down to about 5°C.
- 2
Concentrates it with a compressor
Refrigerant is pumped to a higher temperature using a small amount of electricity.
- 3
Transfers heat to your water
A heat exchanger warms water in the storage tank to 60°C — safe and Legionella-free.
- 4
Stores it for showers all day
An insulated tank holds hot water ready, just like your current system.

“Our gas hot water bill was $480 a quarter. After the swap we're paying about $90, and the installer claimed the Victorian rebate so we only paid $1,650 out of pocket.”
