A heat pump hot water system is designed to absorb heat from the surrounding air using a special thermal fluid that works even in cold weather. The system compresses the fluid to increase its temperature and transfers that heat to the stored water, using less energy.
Estimates from Sustainability Victoria show that these systems use approximately 60% – 75% less electricity** than a traditional electric hot water system, potentially reducing your electricity costs.
Here’s why you should trust Energy Makeovers for your energy efficiency solutions at home or in business.

A solar hot water heater uses the sun’s energy to heat water through a solar energy system (panels). A heat pump extracts heat from the air, ground, or water using electricity to warm the water, making it efficient year-round, even in colder climates. Heat pumps are generally more versatile. The choice between the two depends on your budget and energy considerations.
In theory, yes. We give our customers the option to choose a brand or product they prefer. However, selecting a product that is not in stock may significantly delay the completion of your hot water heat pump upgrade.
Also note: The hot water heat pump unit must be listed in the product registry of the ESC (Essential Services Commission). Otherwise it will not be eligible for VEU rebates.
While it’s rare, issues can sometimes arise. During installation, our certified plumber will thoroughly test your system to ensure it’s functioning properly and meets your satisfaction. Should any issues occur afterwards, our team will be happy to resolve them and will promptly attend to your property within the warranty period.

No. There is a co-payment required. There are no free hot water heat pump installation rebates in the VEU program. Therefore, all Victorians–whether businesses or residential–will be required to pay an upfront fee for a hot water system upgrade.
A hot water heat pump works exactly the same way your air condition split system does to warm up your house:
1. A fan in your outdoor unit will draw surrounding air.
2. The heat in the air is absorbed by a refrigerant flowing within the unit transferring the heat from the air to the water in the water tank providing your hot water.
And yes, our range of hot water heat pumps also work in winter as the refrigerant has an anti-freeze that prevents it from freezing.
In comparison to other systems, such as an electric boiler, they use less electricity since heat pumps transfer heat as opposed to generating it. This can reduce carbon emissions and reach efficiency levels close to 600% (meaning they deliver up to 6 times as much energy as they consume).
We recommend:
