Hot Water Heat Pumps: All You Need To Know

Wednesday, May 6, 2026 7:30pm - 9:00pm
Location: Online on Zoom

Have you wondered how to save money on your gas bills? Switching to heat pump hot water is a fantastic option - better for your hip pocket as well as the planet!

In this info-packed, plain-language webinar, you can get all the practical information you need to decide if a heat pump is right for you, and how to make it happen.

A majority of Victorians use gas-powered hot water – 62% of us, according to Victorian Government figures.

But with gas prices on the rise, we’re paying more and more for our hot showers. Wholesale gas prices have been steadily climbing for decades, and Victorian consumers now have the highest average gas bills in Eastern Australia. In 2026, we’re paying around $1,460 a year on average: already a 5% rise on 2025!

Sustainability Victoria calculates that we can cut that bill by around $385 – $465 annually by switching to heat pump hot water. And with a range of rebates and incentives available, it’s cheaper than you’d think to switch! Plus, heat pumps are reliable, long-lasting, and safe – both for you, and for our planet!

Interested in a heat pump hot water system, but don’t know where to start? Join us online on May 6th and get the facts from your local energy experts! Hear from industry experts Tim Johnston (CEO of Powrhouse) and Harry Barber (Electrify Yarra) to find out:

  • Why and when it makes sense to switch
  • What the costs and savings could be for you

  • What your options are to configure a home system and run it smartly!

Plus, hear from locals who have made the switch about what they did, how they did it, and the results they’ve seen – and ask our experts your own questions in an interactive Q&A!
