Efficient electric hot water

Heat pump hot water designed around your household: a quarter of the energy of an old electric tank, timed to run on your own solar, and a clean step off gas.

The quiet quarter of your bill

It runs in the background, so it is easy to ignore — until you see what it costs. A heat pump pulls warmth from the air instead of burning gas or running an element, so the same hot showers cost a fraction to produce.

  • Make hot water for roughly a quarter of the energy.
  • Time it to heat during the day on your own solar.
  • Cut a major gas load, or get off gas entirely.

Designed around your home

The right system depends on how many people live there, where it can go, and whether you are pairing it with solar. We plan all three before recommending a model.

01Heat pump hot water unit

Sized to your household

Tank size and recovery matched to how many people live there and when you use hot water most, so you never run cold.

02Home exterior

Placement and noise

Located for airflow, drainage, and service access, and kept away from bedrooms and boundaries so the compressor stays unobtrusive.

03Rooftop solar

Timed to your solar

Set to heat during your solar window so most of your hot water is made from your own daytime generation, not the grid.

Hot water rebates & incentives

Up to $1,000 back, plus STCs.

The Solar Victoria rebate and federal STCs stack on an eligible heat pump upgrade. We confirm eligibility and handle the paperwork, so the discount comes off your price.

What good looks like

A heat pump install is plumbing, electrical, and sometimes gas disconnection done cleanly. Placement, changeover, and handover decide how well it lives with your home.

Beyond the gas bill

A heat pump changes how the home runs: lower bills, reliable hot water sized to your household, and a real step toward all-electric living.

Stop paying to boil water the hard way.

A quarter of the energy for the same hot shower.

An old electric tank turns one unit of power into one unit of heat. A heat pump moves heat from the air instead — making roughly four units of heat per unit of power. On a solar timer, most of that runs on your own daytime generation.

Sized so you never run cold.

Reliable hot water, matched to your household.

We size the tank and recovery rate around how many people live in the home and when you use hot water most — so back-to-back showers and the morning rush are covered, through winter included.

Cut the gas, cut the supply charge.

A step off gas, not just a new tank.

Replacing gas hot water removes a major gas load — and if it is your last gas appliance, you can disconnect entirely and stop paying the daily gas supply charge. It is the easiest first move toward an all-electric home.

Getting off gas

Hot water is usually the biggest gas load in the home. Replacing it is the simplest first step — and if it is your last gas appliance, you can disconnect and stop paying the daily supply charge.

Questions about heat pump hot water
