Replace your old electric hot water system with a high-efficiency heat pump. Government rebates available. Serving Frankston to Portsea, all Mornington Peninsula.
📞 0418 383 232If your home still has an old resistive electric hot water storage system, you're likely spending $600–$1,200 per year just on hot water. Heat pump hot water systems are now the go-to replacement — they're quiet, efficient, and with Victorian government rebates, often surprisingly affordable. Impulse Electrical installs heat pump systems across the Peninsula, handles all the electrical work, and helps you claim available rebates.
💰 Save money with Victorian government rebates:
• Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) rebates reduce upfront cost by $300–$1,000+
• Federal STC certificates may apply depending on product
• Heat pumps save $400–$900/year vs old resistive electric systems
• Ask us about current rebate eligibility at time of booking
Victorian households can access the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, which typically provides $300–$1,000+ discount on heat pump hot water systems depending on your current system and household size. Some products also qualify for federal Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs). Rebate amounts change periodically — call us and we'll confirm what's available at the time of your installation.
A resistive electric system (old-style storage tank) uses a heating element like a kettle — it converts all electricity directly to heat. A heat pump works like a reverse refrigerator, extracting heat from the ambient air and using it to heat water — typically 3–4x more efficient. A heat pump uses around 65–75% less electricity than a resistive system, dramatically cutting your hot water bill.
After VEU rebates, a heat pump hot water system installed typically costs $1,200–$2,800 depending on the brand, tank size, and switchboard work required. Without rebates, units cost $2,500–$5,000+ installed. The energy savings of $400–$900/year mean most systems pay for themselves in 3–5 years. We'll provide a detailed quote and confirm applicable rebates.
