In the colder months of the year, your heat pump hot water system may need adjusting.
Heat pump hot water systems are highly efficient because they don’t generate heat in the same way as traditional electric hot water systems. Instead, they draw heat from the surrounding air and transfer it into the water.
Choosing a reverse cycle air conditioner can feel overwhelming. There are dozens of brands available, all claiming to offer excellent performance, efficiency and reliability. Given we’re in winter, we’ll focus this article on the best brands for heating, to keep us toasty warm.
Heat pump hot water systems are the most efficient and cheapest way to heat water for your home. Regular servicing and a few simple checks can help maximise efficiency, extend the life of the unit and protect your warranty.
A high-quality heat pump should provide many years of reliable performance with relatively minimal upkeep – but understanding your maintenance requirements is important.

Refrigerants are the invisible workhorses of modern climate control. They play a critical role in the operation of both heat pump hot water (HPHW) units and air conditioning (AC) systems. These specialised chemical compounds cycle continuously to absorb heat from one area and release it into another, and are a large reason why split systems and heat pump hot water units are so efficient and cheap to run.
When it comes to heat pump hot water units, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing a tank big enough for your needs. As I’ve heard one commentator put it, “no one likes being left cold, wet and naked.”
