Sustainability Victoria compared running costs from a variety of hot water units to see which option is actually the most cost-effective method of heating your water.
For example, in Victorian the average annual cost to heat water using the common electric storage hot water system is $900. Heat pumps, on the other hand, can do the same job for approximately $685 cheaper (76% less).
It’s important to remember though that each home’s precise running costs will depend on the electricity tariffs, pump model, and hot water usage.
Data from Sustainability Victoria, comparing 5-star gas storage, 7-star gas instantaneous, electric storage, high-efficiency solar electric boosted, 7-star LPG instant, and high-efficiency heat pump, off-peak tariff for 4 people, using 150L per day. Accurate as at 2 August 2023.
How a Heat Pump Works.
Heat pump hot water units self-contain the heating process to limit energy wastage, just like a split system air conditioner.
A fan draws in air which contains heat energy, the gas inside the condenser coil heats the water inside the tank, then reverts to a liquid and continues to the evaporator to begin the process again.

The coefficient of performance (COP) is a ratio of useful heating or cooling provided to work (energy) required. Higher COPs equate to higher efficiency, lower energy (power) consumption and thus lower operating costs.

Heat Pump Offer T&Cs
Our Heat Pump offer is available to approved customers under the Victorian Energy Upgrade Program (VEU), SA Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme (REPS), NSW Home Energy Efficiency Retrofits (HEER) and the Federal Renewable Energy Target Program (RET), which is designed to reduce household and commercial greenhouse gases. These energy efficiency programs facilitate the creation of energy efficiency certificates which are created through a deemed or measured carbon abatement within the methodologies and guidelines set out by each program regulator. The amount of carbon abatement is then translated into energy efficiency certificates, which have a market value and are used to subsidise the energy efficiency upgrade which is taking place.
This means a new 215 litre energy-efficient heat pump hot water system can be yours for little cost in many cases.
