Hot water heating in our region is expensive, often relying on inefficient electric hot water systems that  generate high amounts  of climate pollution. Switching to an energy efficient hot water system  will save you money and benefit the environment.

There’s never been a better time to replace your hot water system. The Victorian Government has added a further rebate to already generous subsidies. Households now have an opportunity to purchase an energy efficient hot water system at an upfront price that’s competitive with traditional systems. That means you’ll have low upfront costs, and immediate cost savings.

We want to make sure that communities in our region make the most of this opportunity, securing cost savings, reducing climate pollution, and creating a healthy electricity network all at the same time.

Model type: REHP-CO2-315GL (315 enamel tank with Co2 natural refrigerant system)

A heat pump functions like an air conditioner in reverse. Instead of an inefficient electric heating element it uses heat pump technology to extract energy from the air to heat the water.

Five key points for the Reclaim CO₂ heat pump

• Up to five times more efficient than electric hot water tanks;
• Smart controller to integrate with your household and optimise performance;
• Pair it with solar PV for even greater cost savings: the heat pump is equivalent to a 4 kW battery storage system;
• Reduces your water heating carbon emissions by up to 80% (100% is achievable if integrated with solar);
• Product warranty of up to 15 years.

The Reclaim heat pump is a quiet system and the best performing heat pump in cooler climates like ours. It uses carbon dioxide, as a refrigerant, rather than toxic refrigerants.

Model type: AE-315-GL-BOT-30 (315 enamel tank with 30 tubes network power boosted)

These tubes produce hot water from solar energy. The tubes are designed to passively track the sun, up to 95% of the solar energy they capture.

Five key points for the Apricus Evacuated Tube Solar Hot Water System

• Heat using free energy from the sun.
• Reduce your energy consumption by up to 80% by replacing your existing electric hot water unit;
• Reduce hot water emissions by between 60-90%;
• High performance in cold weather with in built frost protection, hail resistance, and cyclone rated mounting frames;
• Up to 15 year warranty

We have some of the best solar resources in the country and Apricus Evacuated Tube Solar Hot Water Systems assists homeowners to capitalise on that. The tube collectors are designed to passively track the sun, but they’re also designed for our cold winters, rated to handle frost down to -15°C.
