Save Money With A Heat Pump Solar Hot Water System

By:


People all over Australia, and indeed all over the world, are feeling the pinch of rising power bills. However a wonderful water heating device called a heat pump hot water heater can help you save up on your heating costs. Most people know of regular solar heaters but a heat pump solar hot water system is an improvement upon it and is therefore extremely popular in Australia.

A water heating system using a heat pump works on the principle of a reverse-cycle air conditioner which is used to heat an enclosed space in winter. It collects heat from the atmosphere and uses it to warm up water that can then be used in the house. This hot water can be used for bathing and is usually sufficient for every shower head in a house of average size.

There are many advantages to using these water heaters and most people who have used them consider them a preferable option to a regular solar water heater that use roof mounted solar panels because they are far cheaper to install. It has to be admitted that solar panels take up a lot of space even though they result in a lot of savings. Besides not everybody has a flat roof on which these solar panels can be installed easily and unobtrusively. Heat pumps are also cheaper to purchase and provide excellent performance throughout their life. The connections are the same as an ordinary electric hot water system and installation costs are minimal.

You will get a lot of benefits from using a heat pump water heater that extends far beyond lower power bills even though this is undeniably a great advantage of using them. You will also be eligible for an incentive from the Federal Government that offers heat pump rebates to homes that use a solar water heater. These rebates are called RECs (Renewable Energy Certificates) and can go up to $1000 for a heat pump based on certain criteria.

Once you have made the initial investment on the heat pump hot water system you will see an immediate reduction in your monthly power bills. You will also gain a lot of satisfaction from knowing that you are doing something for the environment by reducing your dependence on fossil fuels.
