Benefits of Heat Pump Hot Water System
With smart technology, heat pump hot water systems can be programmed to capture energy from your solar panels or to heat water during off-peak tariff periods. As a result, you can significantly reduce the ongoing cost of your hot water. Furthermore, the payback period is excellent compared to other systems, meaning you’ll see dramatic savings on your power bills. Over time, these systems often pay for themselves through lower running costs and improved efficiency.
Energy Efficient
No other hot water system uses less power, and as a result, you’ll enjoy significantly lower ongoing energy costs and long-term savings on your household bills.
Very Affordable
With the energy savings you generate, your new heat pump hot water system will essentially pay for itself over time, turning efficiency into lasting value.
Instant Heat

Reclaim Energy
The Reclaim Energy CO₂ Heat Pump Hot Water System includes a highly efficient heat pump (compressor) and a durable storage tank — available in stainless steel or glass-lined options. Using advanced heat exchange technology, the system draws warmth from the surrounding air to heat a pressurised, ozone-friendly CO₂ refrigerant. As a result, it can deliver more than five units of heat energy for every single unit of electricity consumed, significantly reducing the cost of producing hot water. Moreover, the CO₂ Heat Pump performs exceptionally well in cold weather, eliminating the need for a backup heating element even during Tasmania’s winter months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Heat pump hot water systems are among the most energy-efficient ways to produce hot water in Tasmania’s unique climate. Because they use ambient air rather than direct electricity to generate heat, they perform reliably all year round while reducing energy costs. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions homeowners and businesses ask when considering a heat pump hot water system for their property.
How does a heat pump hot water system work?
It works much like a reverse refrigerator, gently extracting heat from the surrounding air and transferring it into water stored in a tank. As a result, this process remains highly energy-efficient, even in Tasmania’s cooler conditions, making it an excellent choice for reliable, year-round hot water.
How much can I save compared to a traditional electric hot water system?
On average, households can reduce hot water energy use by 65–75%. Over time, these savings really add up. Often amounting to hundreds of dollars off annual power bills. In addition, using less energy helps lower your carbon footprint, making it a win for both your wallet and the environment.
Will a heat pump work in Tasmania’s colder weather?
Yes. Modern heat pump hot water systems are specifically designed to operate efficiently in cool climates, including Tasmania. Even during winter, they continue to generate reliable hot water, ensuring consistent performance when you need it most.
How long does a heat pump hot water system last?
With regular servicing, most heat pump hot water systems last between 10 and 15 years. Additionally, many models include comprehensive manufacturer warranties, giving you extra peace of mind and long-term confidence in your investment.
