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?
Yes, but quality matters. Cheaper units can fall back on their electric element on frosty mornings, which reduces savings. In colder areas choose a unit rated for low ambient temperatures, such as a CO2 split system.
