Hot water is often one of the largest energy uses in a home. A heat pump heats water by drawing warmth from the surrounding air, working like a refrigerator in reverse, and typically uses around a quarter to a third of the electricity of a conventional electric storage system. Paired with rooftop solar and a timer, it can heat much of your water during the day from your own panels.

Heat-pump hot water is priced from $3,490 supplied and installed, as an indicative starting price confirmed in writing after we assess your existing system and site.

What's included

  • Assessment of your household's hot water use, existing system and installation location
  • Recommendation of a suitably sized, quality heat-pump water heater
  • Supply and delivery of the new system
  • Removal and disposal of the old electric or gas storage unit
  • Plumbing connection by a licensed plumber and electrical connection by our licensed electricians
  • Timer or controller set to run the heat pump during solar hours where you have solar
  • Check of eligibility for government incentives, shown on your quote where eligible
  • Commissioning and a walkthrough of settings and basic care

Why Blue Energy Solar

We look at hot water as part of your whole home energy system, not as a standalone appliance. If you have solar, we set the heat pump to run while your panels are producing, so more of your own power is used at home instead of being exported at a low feed-in tariff. Our consultative approach means we size the system to your household rather than recommending the largest tank, and we coordinate the plumbing and electrical work so the changeover is smooth.

Recommended for

Households with an old electric or gas storage hot water system, especially homes with rooftop solar.

Eligible heat-pump water heaters may attract government incentives, including certificates under federal and NSW programs. Values depend on the product, your location and the program rules at the time, so we check eligibility and show any discount on your quote. Confirm current values on the official pages before signing.

What affects the price: tank size, access to the installation location, whether a new electrical circuit or plumbing changes are needed, and whether a gas system must be disconnected by a licensed gasfitter. Heat pumps have a fan and compressor, so placement away from bedroom windows is worth considering.

Directions

1. Request a quote and tell us about your household, current hot water system and any solar.
2. We assess the existing system and site, then provide a fixed-price written quote.
3. Once you accept, we schedule installation at a time that suits you.
4. The old system is removed, and the heat pump is plumbed in and connected by licensed tradespeople.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends mainly on how many people live in the home and how much hot water you use at peak times, such as back-to-back showers in the morning. Smaller households may suit a compact tank, while larger families need more capacity. We size the system after discussing your routine, so you are not paying for more tank than you need.

Yes. Heat pumps work across a wide temperature range and suit Sydney and most of coastal NSW well. They are less efficient in very cold weather and take longer to heat water, which matters more in cold areas such as the Southern Highlands or Blue Mountains. We recommend models rated for your local climate.

We can set a timer or controller so it heats during the middle of the day, when solar output is usually strongest. On cloudy days it will draw some grid power, and a boost setting can top up hot water when needed. Running mostly on solar lowers running costs, but results depend on your system size and household use.

Heat pumps have a compressor and fan, and they make a sound similar to an air-conditioner's outdoor unit. Most people find them unobtrusive during the day, which is another benefit of running them in solar hours. We consider placement during the assessment to keep the unit away from bedrooms and neighbours' windows where possible.
