FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a hot water heat pump?
A heat pump water heater uses electricity to extract heat from the surrounding air and transfer it into your water tank. It works like an air conditioner in reverse—heating water efficiently without needing direct sunlight or gas.
How long does it take to heat a full tank?
It usually takes 2–4 hours to heat a full tank, depending on the model, tank size, and ambient air temperature.
How efficient is a heat pump compared to a solar hot water system?
Both are highly efficient, but heat pumps don’t depend on sunlight or roof collectors—making them ideal for shaded areas or smaller roofs.
Are there government rebates or incentives?
Yes. Federal and state rebates are available under programs such as the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) and state energy-saving initiatives. These can reduce the cost by $500–$1,500 or more.
How does a heat pump differ from a regular electric or gas system?
Traditional electric systems generate heat directly, while heat pumps move heat from the air. This makes them up to 70% more energy-efficient than standard electric or gas hot water systems.
How much can I save with a heat pump?
Most homeowners save 60–75% on hot water energy costs compared to traditional electric systems.
Can I replace my existing electric or gas system with a heat pump?
Yes. Heat pumps can easily replace older systems and often use the same plumbing connections.
How much does it cost to run a heat pump?
Most systems cost only $100–$300 per year to run—significantly lower than traditional electric or gas systems.
