Install our energy-efficient heat pump hot water system and reduce your annual water heating bills buy up to 75%

As per Institute of Sustainable Future (ISF) at the Sydney University of Technology (UTS), energy consumed for water heating is responsible for 1/5th of greenhouse gas emissions by Australian households. Additionally, water heating appliances contribute to 25% of the overall energy consumption in Australian homes.

Considering these numbers, installing a heat pump technology-based water heating system becomes indispensable for Victorian households looking to reduce their electricity bills through energy-efficient heat pump upgrades.

Choosing energy-efficient heat pump water heaters over conventional electric resistance and gas-fired water heaters has the potential to reduce annual water heating bills by 60% to 75%.

The average annual electricity bill for a Victorian household is $1,571. Since water heating is responsible for 25% of total energy use in Australian households, replacing an electric resistance water heater with a heat pump water heater could save over $295 annually.

Hot Water Upgrades under VEU Program of VIC government

The anticipated 75% reduction in water heating bills will occur after installing an energy-saving heat pump hot water system. For Victoria state households, another incentive to upgrade is hot water (heat pump) rebates being offered by the Victoria government under the Victoria Energy Upgrades (VEU) program.
Victorian Energy Upgrades Program commenced on 1 January 2009. Since its inception, the program has delivered low-cost, energy-efficient appliances and equipment upgrades to over 2.4 million households and over 170K businesses in Victoria.

The upgrades have helped Victorians save millions of dollars on electricity bills while reducing their carbon footprint by over 80 million tonnes.

Under the program, accredited businesses (such as iPromise Australia) receive carbon credits on every replacement of an inefficient appliance with an energy-efficient one approved under the VEU program.
The new heat pump water heating system should:

Comply with AS/NZS 2712 standard
Meet performance rating as specified in AS/NZS 4234:2021 standard.
Use refrigerant that has a GWP (Global Warming Potential) value of less than 700.
Be covered by a warranty (against defects) of at least 5 years from the day of installation.

The hot water upgrades run by iPromise Australia under the above activities of the VEU program comply with and meet all its relevant regulations, requirements, and guidelines, such as:

Pre-installation conditions
Heat pump system specs and performance indicators
Code of conduct requirements
Eligibility conditions
Installation limits in commercial and residential premises
Licensing of installers
Installation requirements
Decommissioning & disposal guidelines of old/existing water heating unit
Record-keeping requirement

In addition to these VEU scheme regulations and requirements, our heat pump water heater upgrades are done in complete compliance with the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), the Electricity Safety Act 1998, the Gas Safety Act 1997, and the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OSHA), 2004.
