Sustainability Victoria has conducted a valuable analysis comparing the running costs of various hot water appliances to help consumers identify the most cost-effective method for water heating. This data sheds light on the economical and sustainable options available for households.
For instance, when considering the very common electric storage hot water system used in Victorian households, the average annual cost to heat water is approximately $900. In contrast, heat pump systems can perform the same task for approximately $685 less annually, representing a remarkable 76% reduction in costs.
It’s important to note that the precise running costs for each home will vary depending on factors such as electricity tariffs, the specific pump model, and hot water consumption patterns. Heat pump hot water units are particularly appealing due to their self-contained heating process, which minimises energy wastage. This efficiency is comparable to the performance of a split-system air conditioner, making them a sustainable and cost-effective choice for water heating.
And Why You Need One!
Selecting the right size for your hot water system is pivotal. A size that’s too small could leave you shivering without hot water, while an excessively large system can translate to higher upfront costs and ongoing expenses. Our recommendations center on tank size, offering a simple and practical way to make the right choice:
Finding the ideal size also involves contemplating household changes over time. Your family might expand or your water consumption patterns could shift. These factors influence the right size for your hot water system, so it’s crucial to plan for the long term.
The frequency and timing of your hot water use play a crucial role in selecting the right system. High hot water consumption, such as multiple people in your home or regular baths, may warrant a larger system. Before investing in a larger hot water system, consider upgrading the efficiency of your appliances, such as installing efficient showerheads. This can reduce water use and energy bills, ensuring that your hot water system is both economical and environmentally friendly.
