You’re paying too much for hot water

Wasted energy is wasted money

Traditional hot water systems waste energy every day, costing you up to $4 per day ($1,500 per year).

Rising electricity & gas prices

Electricity rates are as high as 40c/kWh, and gas prices are soaring—making heating water more expensive than ever.

Unused solar power going to waste

If you have solar, why sell power back for cents when you could use it to heat your water for free?

It’s time to stop overpaying

6 reasons to install a hot water heat pump now

Save over $1,000 a year

Reduce your water heating costs by up to 80%, cutting your bills from $4 per day to just $0.77 or less.

Barry was really good in explaining the options, rebates, and interest free loans to assist with solar and a solar battery.

The installers were quick, and efficient, plus they identified a broken tile, and replaced it for me from my pile of spare tiles.

The electrical inspector was also helpful in explaining what he had to do.

Frequently asked questions

How does a hot water heat pump work?

Hot water heat pumps work by taking heat from the surrounding air as opposed to generating their own heat. They are significantly more energy efficient than traditional gas or electric water heaters.

What are the benefits of a hot water heat pump?

A hot water heat pump can reduce your water heating electricity needs by up to 75%. When you combine a hot water heat pump with a solar system, you can set the heat pump to heat water during the middle of the day when your solar system is generating electricity. In this situation, you’re effectively able to heat your water for free.

Are there any rebates available for hot water heat pumps?

Yes. Homeowners can benefit from government rebates when they install certain energy efficient hot water systems. Rebates vary depending on location. As an accredited supplier, Smart Energy is uniquely positioned to handle the rebate process for you, ensuring you reduce your upfront costs and maximise your savings. 

Speak with one of our experts to get an understanding of the hot water heat pump rebates available to you.
