Heat pumps hot water systems are efficient and economical to run

Many Australian households still rely on gas or electric hot water heating, but heat pump hot water systems can provide a cheaper, highly efficient and more eco-friendly alternative to getting hot water in your home.

Heat pump hot water systems use similar technology to your fridge or air conditioner but in reverse, transferring heat from outside and using it to heat the water in the tank.

Hot water heat pumps extract heat from the air, rather than using electricity to generate heat. For this reason, heat pumps can be up to three times more energy-efficient than a conventional electric hot water heater.

A heat pump hot water system is suitable for the coastal climates of Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Nowra, Shoalhaven and Sutherland. Even in the coldest months, there is enough heat in the air to power a heat pump hot water system.

Enjoy long-term energy savings with a heat pump hot water system. Plus, you could save on installation by taking advantage of government rebates.

Heating water is the second highest contributor to energy use in an average household. Making the right choice for your hot water system is incredibly important for this reason.

We have the knowledge and experience to help you find the right hot water solution to suit the needs of your household. We can take you through available heat pump models, recommend an appropriate tank size and find the right location for the pump itself.

We can also provide repairs to an existing hot water heat pump and keep it running efficiently through regular servicing. We can clean filters, remove limescale build-up, drain and flush the tank, restore damaged piping and replace faulty valves.

Your hot water heat pump can last 10-15 years if looked after properly. Avoid snowballing of repair costs – get in touch as soon as you notice any issues. 

With government rebates making heat pump hot water systems more affordable, our service team will also assist with the required paperwork for taking advantage of these cost savings.

Hot water heat pumps

Our highly skilled plumbers can install your brand new heat pump or replace an existing heat pump in one day. After installing a new heat pump, enjoy savings on your energy bills for years into the future. Even replacing an old, inefficient hot water heat pump can improve energy consumption. Modern hot water heat pump technology has improved greatly and current heat pumps are cheaper to run than gas or electric systems.

You can also feel better about your carbon footprint, as a hot water heat pump uses less electricity than an electric water heater and produces less carbon emissions. To further limit your environmental impact, you can pair your heat pump hot water system with a solar electricity source and run a completely green hot water system.

You won’t sacrifice on functionality with a hot water heat pump either. They can heat your water the same way an electric or gas system would, just with a more efficient use of energy.

Is your existing heat pump not running as it used to? We recommend that you get your heat pump serviced by a qualified plumber once a year. For our Service Partner Plan members, we offer a free annual hot water system tune up/flush as part of your membership.

Regular servicing will ensure that your system continues running safely and smoothly, extending the longevity of the heat pump’s lifetime. Regular maintenance will save you money in the long-term by catching any issues early and reducing your risk of having to pay for a brand new heat pump.

If your hot water heat pump isn’t turning on, is not heating your water properly or/at all, or is making strange noises, it’s time to book in a visit from an experienced plumber.

Our team will arrive fully equipped to diagnose any issues to your hot water heat pump, outline all suitable solutions and perform any repairs on the spot.

Curran were out within an hour of my call. I was fully advised by the person on the end of the phone of their procedures and they communicated with me by text and email during my wait. The technician gave me 25 mins notice of his arrival. He advised me what he would be doing, the price, and when he was about to turn the power off. Fixed the problem in 20 mins. I was very impressed with their customer service.

I found the guys at Curran Electrical and Plumbing to be great, they were open really friendly and helpful. They did the job on time with no mess. I also found them to be honest. I thought I had to replace two lights in the bathroom however while installing the new ones we found another switch so I did not need them replaced after all and the quote was adjusted to reflect this.

Curran Plumbing & Electrical recently installed a new pump on my rainwater tank. I am very pleased with their work and also that they were able to do it within a few days of getting their quote. I also appreciated that when the quote was done that a video was taken of what needed to be done, so that whoever did the work knew what needed to be done.

Sam was bang on time and fixed our septic issue very quickly. He also sent a camera up the pipes to ensure everything else was fine before leaving. We've enjoyed our ongoing relationship with Curran after they did some major works for us last year and our membership is well worth it.

From the first phone call Curran plumbing services were professional, showed up on time for scheduled quote , then me updated when the job was going to be completed . On the day of install all of the staff were well trained , well spoken and installed my new instantaneous gas hot water system like they were installing it in their own home . The quality in detail to make sure I was satisfied didn’t go unnoticed. At the end of the day I feel like I have gained a plumber for life . 100% recommend.
