What to know before choosing a heat pump system
Before upgrading your hot water system, it’s best to understand how heat pumps operate and perform.
How heat pumps heat your water
Heat pump systems don’t generate heat directly. Instead, they extract heat from the surrounding air and transfer it to the water tank. This process uses less energy than traditional electric water heaters while still delivering reliable hot water.
Why heat pumps use less energy
Because heat pumps move heat rather than create it, they typically use less electricity to heat water. This can lead to lower energy use over time, especially when replacing older electric hot water systems.
Performance in colder conditions
Because heat pumps move heat rather than create it, they typically use less electricity to heat water. This can lead to lower energy use over time, especially when replacing older electric hot water systems.
What affects hot water availability
Hot water supply depends on tank size, household water usage and recovery time. Choosing the right system helps ensure there’s enough hot water without unnecessary energy use.
Noise levels around the home
Heat pumps include a fan and compressor, similar to an air conditioner. Most systems operate quietly, but placement can influence perceived noise, making installation location an important consideration.
Understanding upfront and running costs
Heat pump systems can have a higher upfront cost compared to traditional units. However, lower running costs and potential rebates often improve long-term value.
Rebates and government support
Heat pump hot water systems may be eligible for assistance under the ACT Sustainable Household Scheme. Eligibility depends on household and system requirements, which should be checked before installation.
When a heat pump may not suit
Not every home is the same. Space limitations, usage patterns, or electrical capacity can affect suitability. A proper assessment helps determine whether a heat pump is the right hot water solution.

Frequently asked questions
Heat pump hot water systems work differently from traditional units. Here are some of the most common questions we get about them.
How does a heat pump hot water system actually work?
A heat pump hot water system extracts heat from the surrounding air and transfers it into the water tank. This process uses less electricity than traditional electric systems because it moves heat rather than generating it.
Are heat pump hot water systems suitable for winters?
Yes, modern heat pump systems are designed to operate effectively in cooler climates. When sized and installed correctly, they can provide reliable hot water for Canberra homes throughout the year.
Can a heat pump replace my existing electric or gas system?
In many cases, yes. Heat pumps are often installed as a replacement for traditional electric or gas systems. A site assessment helps confirm suitability and whether any changes are needed to existing plumbing or electrical connections.
Do heat pump systems cost more to run than other options?
Heat pump systems typically use less energy than standard electric water heaters, which can reduce ongoing running costs. Actual savings depend on usage, system size and household hot water demand.
Are rebates available for heat pump hot water systems?
Some heat pump hot water systems may be eligible under the ACT Sustainable Household Scheme, depending on household and system requirements. Capital Air can explain eligibility and how the scheme works.
How do heat pumps compare to other heating services?
Heat pumps are used specifically for hot water, while other systems focus on space heating. Homeowners often review heat pumps alongside broader heating services when planning energy-efficient upgrades.
