What are Heat Pump Hot Water Systems and How Do They Work?
A heat pump hot water system (also referred to as heat pumps) stores hot water in a tank which is used as a hot water supply for your home.
A heat pump hot water system extracts heat from the air and transfers it into water that is stored in a tank. This works through a fan that draws air in and passes it over an evaporative coil, which absorbs any heat that the air contains. Even though the air that is drawn in may be cooler than the water in the tank, it still contains heat energy, which is absorbed and then transferred into the water.
Heat pumps are designed with a backup electrical heater, which ensures the hot water system can keep up during high usage periods or in overly cold weather.
Why You Should Invest in a Heat Pump Hot Water System
Cost Savings
The heat transfer process in heat pumps is highly efficient and can use up to 60-75% less energy than a traditional hot water system, depending on the heat pump you choose as well as environmental factors. This can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars annually, which can quickly cover the cost of having the heat pump installed.
Long Life Span
Heat pumps have a life expectancy of 10-15 years, however the actual life span can end up being much longer with proper maintenance. Meanwhile, traditional gas hot water systems only have a life span of 8-12 years.
Heat pump units heat water more gradually than traditional hot water systems, meaning their internal components aren’t exposed to intense direct heat. This helps reduce thermal stress. Additionally, heat pumps are more efficient at maintaining steady temperatures, creating a stable environment for the components inside the unit. As a result, there’s less wear and tear over time, which can extend the lifespan of your system.
Get Away From Gas
There’s a growing movement in Australia to disconnect completely from gas. More and more households are opting for induction cooktops, air conditioners for heating, and heat pump hot water systems to replace traditional gas systems.
Gas hot water systems account for up to 90-95% of a typical gas bill, with only 5-10% of that being used for cooking. This makes switching to a heat pump hot water system one of the most effective and straightforward ways to reduce your gas consumption.
Heat pumps are the future of Australia’s hot water systems. Making the change now can help you take the first step toward a more energy-efficient, gas-free future.
Why Choose CrispAir for Heat Pump Installations and Replacements
CrispAir, a family-owned and operated business, has been installing, repairing, and servicing air conditioner units for 38 years in Western Australia. But why should you trust an air conditioning company to install your heat pump?
Air conditioners are heat pumps – they transfer heat from one place to another using the same process. In cooling mode, air conditioners take the heat out of the indoor air and expel it outside. In heating mode, they absorb heat from the outside air and introduce it into the home.
Heat pump hot water systems work exactly the same, they transfer heat from the outside air into the water tank, creating hot water for you to use in your home.
The team at CrispAir are licensed, certified technicians with expertise in refrigeration handling, pipework, and system installation. Our deep understanding of heat pump systems allows us to ensure reliability in every installation we complete and guarantees you a product that will last.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a heat pump hot water system with solar panels?
Yes - as a heat pump uses electricity to operate, you can use the energy from your solar panels to run it.
Where does a heat pump need to be installed?
The best place to install a heat pump is outdoors, in an area that has proper ventilation and airflow. Normally, in the exact same location as your existing hot water system.
How long does it take to install a heat pump?
In most cases, our team can install a heat pump at your home in approximately 2-3 hours. However, installation times may vary in different circumstances, for example, if a different type of hot water system is currently installed, such as a gas hot water system.
