Electric water heaters integrating heat pump technology and a tank compressor are among the market’s most innovative and efficient. They work by extracting heat from the surrounding air and using a compressor to concentrate that ambient heat energy to efficiently heat water.
Unlike conventional element storage tanks that rely on direct heating methods, a heat pump water heater can operate at over 300% efficiency. Utilising renewable thermal energy from the air, heat pump systems are less electricity-reliant and can save households as much as 75% on hot water expenses.
Greater Western Sydney’s mild climate makes it an ideal location to operate heat pump systems. Heat pumps are optimal in warmer conditions, suited for temperatures as low as around 5°C, which aligns well with Greater Western Sydney’s climate. Fortunately winters are relatively warm across Western Sydney so heat pumps run efficiently year-round.
We provide installation of heat pump water heaters, including access to attractive rebates and government incentives. When taking into account their exceptional energy savings, quick ROI and environmental benefits, heat pump systems are a smart investment.

Utilising heat pump technology can slash water heating costs by 50-75%. Condensing technology in modern gas water heaters surpasses the efficiency of outdated models. Even modern electric water heater models or gas storage tanks use less power than those of more than 10 years old.
Switching from an old 250L electric storage tank to a heat pump system could cut a family’s energy expenses by approximately $300 annually. Choosing solar heat pump hot systems or gas condensing models promises further financial savings over time.
Along with saving money on bills, upgraded systems are better for the environment. High efficiency heat pumps, solar collectors and modern gas units emit less CO2 than conventional electric, LPG or natural draught gas heaters. Your home’s carbon footprint is reduced.
