How much does a heat pump hot water system cost in Australia?
Most systems cost between $2,000 and $4,500 installed before rebates. In Victoria, Victorian Energy Upgrades and federal STCs are taken off at the point of sale, and eligible households may add a Solar Victoria rebate, so the price you actually pay is often well below that range.
How much can I save on running costs?
A heat pump uses roughly a third of the electricity of a conventional electric element. For a family of four that can cut hot-water running costs from around $700 a year to under $250 — and close to zero if you run it on solar during the day.
Do heat pumps work in cold Victorian winters?
