Already Have Solar Panels ? Here’s Why Adding a Heat Pump Will Be Great For Your Pocket!

Heat pumps work great with solar PV systems and can complement each other well. The solar panels can supply electricity throughout the day, which will significantly enhance energy efficiency and cost savings. Gone are the days where feed-in tariffs make you money; the aim is to utilise the solar power throughout the day.

A heat pump hot water heater system can use renewable energy to warm your water.

When we install heat pump hot water systems, The qualified electrician we bypass the off-peak meter as it’s recommended by the manufacturers because heat pumps are more efficient during the day when the outside temperature is higher. Heat pumps also turn on for short periods at a time, unlike electric hot water systems that run one big cycle. Typically, a heat pump will automatically turn itself on once the temperature goes below 50 degrees Celsius.

Experience for yourself the unparalleled efficiency of renewable heat for heating hot water by taking advantage of the NSW heat pump rebate.

The condenser on the heat pump will only use 1 kW of energy, so even if you have a small solar PV system, you will still be able to heat your hot water for free!

Reduce greenhouse emissions

Make a significant contribution to greenhouse gas emissions reduction with an energy efficient hot water replacement system.

Heat pump hot water systems are far more efficient than traditional water heaters despite their use of electricity. These systems have a reduced carbon footprint of 65% when compared to conventional gas water heaters and will save you money and energy while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Guaranteed hot water 24/7

Say goodbye to cold showers with a heat pump hot water system that keeps you supplied with hot water around the clock.
With a heat pump hot water system, you can enjoy uninterrupted and instant hot water 24 hours a day, regardless of the weather conditions. The heat pump works like a reverse refrigerator by transferring heat in the air outside of the unit to the water stored inside through a heat exchange system. “Heat” is a relative phrase in the instance of heat pumps, as they will still work in very cold conditions – at least -10 degrees Celsius, meaning the heat pump will still be producing hot water for you during those chilly winter nights.

How Do Heat Pump Water Systems Work?

The first point to note is that heat pump water systems are far more energy efficient than older hot water heater systems. Yes, they do use electricity but only as part of the process of transferring heat from the air to the water (thermal transfer). They don’t use it to actually heat the water like traditional hot water systems do. A good heat pump will in fact transfer up to 3 times more thermal energy via conductive heat transfer than it uses to operate. This is why they are able to generate as much hot water but use significantly less energy to do so.

So how do heat pump water systems work?

Heat pumps use conductive heat transfer, which essentially means they take in heat from an external source i.e. warm air from outside the pump, and pass it over liquid refrigerant in evaporating coils in the pump. The heat in the air is transferred to the refrigerant, warming it up. The refrigerant vaporises as it heats up and is then turned into a super hot gas by a compressor. This super hot gas is pushed into a heat exchange unit, which, in a water heater, is a series of coils immersed in cold water. The heat in the hot refrigerant gas now transfers to the cooler water and heats it up.

As it loses its heat, the refrigerant begins to return to a liquid state. At this point, it is pushed through an expansion valve where it rapidly chills back to liquid and is returned to the evaporating chamber where it absorbs heat from warm air pumped in from outside the unit… This process occurs in a continuous cycle so you always have hot water ‘on the boil.

The technology is well proven and extremely energy efficient. Heat pumps only require electricity to run one or two components, like the compressor. The water heating process, traditionally the most power hungry part of a hot water system, is done free of charge by Mother Nature.

Choose The Right Hot Water System For Your Home

When choosing the right hot water system for your home, you will need to factor in things like household hot water use, available space, your budget, and also your local climate. Our team can help with this process. We will ensure the unit and type of system you choose matches your requirements, and is eligible for the NSW hot water system rebate.

There are several types of hot water systems available. Each has its pros and cons. The most popular types are gas, electric, solar, and heat pumps. ,

Gas Hot Water Systems:

Gas systems are popular because of their ability to rapidly heat water, and lower operational costs compared to electric hot water systems. Gas hot water systems can run on either LPG or natural gas, making them a convenient option for many homes. However, on the con side – these systems typically require more maintenance, and their initial installation costs can be higher than a similar capacity electric system.

Electric Hot Water Systems:

Electric systems are easy to install and have lower upfront costs. They are a good hot water solution for homes with limited space because they don’t require venting. However, they can be less energy-efficient than other hot water systems, and cost a lot more to run, especially if they rely on mains power. You can however consider installing solar panels, or use an off-peak tariff, both of which are more eco-friendly options.

Solar Hot Water Systems:

Solar systems are the ‘grandfather’ of energy efficient, environmentally friendly hot water systems. They’ve been around for decades (the original prototype was invented way back in 1891!), which is why more than 1.3 million of them have been installed across Australia. These systems harness the power of the sun to heat water and can significantly reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint. However, the initial upfront investment in a solar hot water system can be expensive, and most require a back up gas or electricity powered heating source, or booster, during cloudy days or periods of high demand. These often reduce the overall cost saving benefits of a solar hot water system.

Heat Pump Hot Water Systems:

Heat pump systems utilise thermal transfer to heat water. This makes them highly energy-efficient. They are ideal hot water systems for homes in temperate climates, as they operate best in mild temperatures. Their upfront cost is higher than traditional electric systems BUT the long-term savings on your energy bills make them a worthwhile investment. Furthermore, by taking advantage of the NSW heat pump hot water government rebate, you can also save on those upfront costs as well!

The NSW Energy Savings Scheme and the STC Rebate: Maximising State and Federal Incentives for Small-Scale Renewable Energy

If you are a New South Wales resident keen to boost your home’s energy efficiency, you can now tap into the combined power of the Federal Government’s Small-scale Technology Certificates (STC) Rebate (endorsed by the Clean Energy Regulator), AND the NSW Energy Savings Scheme. In fact, you are poised to make significant savings. Here’s why…

The NSW Government Energy Saving Scheme

The NSW Government has committed $500 million to the NSW Energy Savings Scheme to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help households across NSW save on their energy bills. Under the scheme, a range of incentives is currently available to businesses and households in NSW to encourage investment in energy-saving measures that will reduce electricity consumption.

The NSW Electric Hot Water System Rebate: How It Works

The hot water rebate NSW is part of the Federal Government’s broader STC program. When you install eligible renewable energy systems, like a heat pump hot water upgrade, or solar panels, you earn small-scale technology certificates, or STCs. These certificates can be traded or sold to offset the cost of your system.

In addition to this, the NSW Energy Savings Scheme further incentivises energy-efficient upgrades by encouraging homeowners to earn energy savings certificates (ESCs) for every tonne of carbon dioxide they save. When combined with the STC Rebate, the financial benefit for homeowners is substantial. For example, choosing and installing an eligible solar or heat pump hot water system through these schemes promises long-term reductions in energy bills (ESCs) AND a significant saving on your initial investment (STCs).

The experienced team at Efficient Energy Group will guide you through the benefits of these incentives, especially if you are considering a heat pump hot water upgrade.

Efficient Energy Group – STC and ESC Partner

Partnering with Efficient Energy Group for your energy efficient residential hot water system upgrade allows you to seamlessly navigate both schemes.
