Heat pump systems installed by our in-house team to cut hot water running costs by up to 70% and work seamlessly with rooftop solar.
Why heat pumps suit Canberra homes
- Reduce hot water running costs compared to electric or gas systems
- Use more of your solar energy during the day
- Replace older gas systems as part of home electrification

ACT Sustainable Household Scheme
The ACT Government’s Sustainable Household Scheme makes it easier for Canberra homeowners to switch to energy-efficient heat pump hot water.
As an experienced local installer, Econ Energy can help you understand whether your home qualifies and guide you through the process.
Low-interest ACT Government loans
Most households can apply for a 3% loan of $2,000–$15,000, repaid over up to 10 years, with no establishment or account-keeping fees.
Supply and installation covered in one loan
Loans can typically include both the approved heat pump hot water unit and the associated installation costs, such as plumbing and electrical work, provided they fall within the scheme guidelines and loan limit.
Repayments spread over time
Repayments are made over the agreed loan term instead of all upfront, which can make it easier to manage cash flow while you start to benefit from a more efficient hot water system.
How heat pump hot water systems work
A heat pump hot water system works differently to traditional tanks:
- It draws warmth from the surrounding air
- Transfers that heat into water stored in an insulated tank
- Uses significantly less electricity to do the same job
Because they run efficiently during the day, heat pump systems pair particularly well with
solar systems, allowing you to heat water using energy your panels produce.
What you get with Econ Energy
High efficiency heat pump technology
Heat pump hot water systems move heat rather than creating it, so they use electricity far more efficiently. That means reliable hot water with lower running costs.
Proven reliability in Canberra conditions
We install systems selected to handle Canberra’s frosty winters and hot summers. The aim is steady performance all year round, not just in perfect conditions.
Compatible with solar and future electrification
Our heat pumps are designed to work neatly with rooftop solar today, and to stay compatible with future upgrades like batteries, EV charging and full home electrification.
Installed and supported by licensed electricians
Your system is installed by our own in-house, licensed electricians. We look after compliance, setup and ongoing support, so you know exactly who to call.
