Is a heat pump right for your home?
Choosing a new hot water system shouldn’t mean sorting through technical details on your own. BHPS will help you compare heat pump options with your household’s needs, available space and budget. We’ll explain what the installation involves so you can decide whether the upgrade is right for you.
Signs worth checking
- An ageing gas or electric storage unit is approaching replacement.
- You want to compare hot water energy use as part of moving away from gas.
- Your current tank struggles with the household's shower and laundry demand.
What’s the next step?
Thinking about making the switch? Call BHPS or send us a message with your suburb, the type of system you have and how many people use hot water at home. Let us know if you’re planning ahead or replacing a failed unit. We’ll help you compare options and explain what’s included before you commit.
Heat Pump Hot Water in Melbourne
A heat pump hot water system works like a reverse-cycle air conditioner for your water — drawing heat from the surrounding air to warm your tank for a fraction of the energy of traditional electric or gas. BHPS sizes, supplies, and installs the right system for your home, manages the changeover, and helps you take advantage of available rebates.
Far more efficient than electric or gas
Heat pumps use ambient air to heat water, so they draw far less electricity than conventional electric storage systems — which means noticeably lower running costs.
Rebate-eligible upgrades
Switching from an old gas or electric unit may qualify for Victorian Government hot water rebates and Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts. We help you understand eligibility and handle the paperwork.
Goodbye gas bills
Replacing a gas hot water system with an efficient electric heat pump removes one of the main reasons to keep paying gas supply charges.
Right-sized, properly commissioned
We match the system capacity to your household size and hot water habits, then test and commission it for safe, reliable performance.

Heat Pump Hot Water FAQs
Practical questions about heat pump hot water, assessment and the next step.
How much can a heat pump hot water system save me?
Heat pumps typically use a fraction of the energy of conventional electric storage systems and can cut hot water running costs significantly versus electric or gas. Actual savings depend on your household size, usage, tariff, and the system you choose — we'll help you estimate this for your home.
Are there rebates for heat pump hot water in Victoria?
Yes. Eligible Victorian households can access government hot water rebates, and these can often be combined with Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts. Eligibility rules and amounts change over time, so BHPS uses approved products and installers and helps you check whether you qualify and complete the paperwork.
Do heat pumps work in cold Melbourne weather?
Yes. Modern heat pump hot water systems are designed to operate efficiently across Melbourne's climate, including cold mornings. Many models include a backup electric element for peak demand or very cold conditions.
Can I replace my existing gas or electric hot water system with a heat pump?
In most homes, yes. BHPS assesses your current setup, recommends a suitable heat pump, manages the changeover and any electrical and plumbing work, and removes the old unit.
Are heat pumps noisy?
They produce a low hum similar to an air conditioner's outdoor unit. We advise on the best location during installation to minimise any noise near bedrooms or neighbours.
Will replacing gas hot water remove my gas supply charges?
Not by itself if other gas appliances or an active gas connection remain. A heat pump removes gas use for hot water, but ending supply charges requires checking the remaining appliances and arranging the appropriate disconnection with your gas provider.
