So what are heat pumps?
Heat pumps are one of the most efficient technologies we have to heat water and reduce electricity use. With heat pump technology coming in leaps and bounds, there is now a vast array of systems that are much more efficient than their electric or gas counterparts. Not only that, good quality heat pumps often outperform solar hot water. You can learn more via the Renew website here.
What is the benefit for our climate?
The Hepburn Z-NET Community Transition Plan (CTP) highlighted heat pumps as a great opportunity to reduce household electricity use. In 2019, 50% of residents had electric hot water systems, with another 30% using wood or gas. Heat pumps use between 70-80% less electricity than these conventional systems and analysis in the CTP suggested that we could reduce electricity use across the shire by 18% if more residents made the switch.
Why do we need a bulk-buy?
While heat pumps are great for the environment, it can be overwhelming to find and select an appropriate system. This bulk-buy offers a streamlined process that makes it easier to learn about, get a quote, access subsidies and have your system installed by a local qualified person. Learn more here
