The heat pump hot water system work similar to a refrigerator in reverse, taking heat from the air and transferring it to the water in a tank.

Unlike a standard electric hot water system, which uses a large electric element to directly heat the water, a heat pump only uses electricity to drive the refrigerant pump.

This creates a much lighter power burden, in fact it is claimed they are around 3 times as efficient, when compared to standard hot water systems.

This is a major consideration when it comes to the cost of power bills. Some systems have a pump/tank combined, while others use a split system type set up. The latter system keeps any fan noise out of the house, in situations where the tank is to be kept inside.

Gas hot water systems on the Sunshine Coast run off the portable gas tanks, usually attached to your house, somewhere out of the way. The specialised tankless continuous flow hot water systems, provide instant hot water on demand.

The big advantage is that so long as you have gas, you will never run out of hot water. That is perfect for when the southern relo’s come up to our beautiful Sunshine Coast to holiday at your place! You can also set the temperature at an optimum setting for safety.

Harnessing Australia’s sun makes a lot of sense if you happen to live on the Sunshine Coast.
