Roadmap for Heat Pump Hot Water Systems in Australia
Building quality, confidence, and the market
Heat pump hot water systems (HPHWS) are an energy-efficient electric technology for providing hot water services. As they are significantly more energy efficient compared with alternate technologies, HPHWS provide an important opportunity for reducing energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
In July 2024, the Energy Efficiency Council, funded by the New South Wales Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water and Solar Victoria within the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA), launched the Roadmap for Heat Pump Hot Water Systems in Australia.
Signed by a diverse cross-section of HPHWS industry stakeholders, the roadmap expresses a shared vision in which Australians save money and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions using high quality HPHWS products, underpinned by a modernised regulatory environment.
Signatories to the roadmap are committed to taking meaningful action to:
• Build industry leadership in Australia.
• Foster excellence through quality products and professional installation.
• Promote a sustainable industry for the long-term.
• Accelerate emissions reduction and support an equitable transition.
