Benefits of Heat Pumps
Economical
4 operating modes are able to intelligently adapt to all situations. Including a hybrid mode for when additional guests are staying over and a vacation mode for when you are away on holiday.
Optimal Design
The iStore features an external wrap around the heating coil, which provides maximum thermal energy transfer without the need for anti-corrosion connections.
Easy to Install
Thanks to its light weight and refined design, the iStore is easy and quick to install. Depending on your existing system, it can take up to 2 hours.
Low Consumption
The iStore consumes 1000w of energy per hour during the air-to-energy process, which represents 3000 to 4000 watts in total for an average heating cycle of 3-4 hours.
Money and Energy Savings
Heating water for the home accounts for up to 25% of the total energy usage for the average Australian household. iStore reduces water heating consumption by 2/3, while reducing CO2 emissions by 4 tonnes a year.
Cost Effective
Thanks to renewable incentives, an iStore costs under $3000 and could save you up to $950 per year on power bills. That’s a payback period of just 3 years.
HOW THE iSTORE WORKS
The fan draws in air that contains heat energy which moves across the evaporator.
The liquid refrigerant is turned into a gas by the evaporator.
The refrigerant is pressurised by a compressor which turns the refrigerant into a hot gas.
The hot gas inside the condenser coil will then heat the water inside the coil-wrapping tank.
After heating the water the refrigerant reverts back to a liquid and continues on to the evaporator to begin the process again.
The cycle will repeat until the temperature that has been set has been achieved
While the water is being used in the home, the cycle will restart once the tank temperature has dropped to below 45 degrees celsius.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a heat pump hot water system work?
Think of your heat pump as a reverse refrigerator. It draws in ambient heat from the outside environment, or from your solar panels. This heat is stored inside the system in refrigerant that’s held in specially designed pipes. This heat is much warmer than the refrigerant, which works to create a reaction that turns the refrigerant from a liquid into a gas. A compressor then pumps the refrigerant gas into a condenser, which moves through pipes surrounding the water tank, transferring the heat from the gas into the water within the tank, warming it. The liquid refrigerant then flows into an expansion valve, where it reduces in pressure, cools, and turns back into a liquid. The cycle then starts again.
How do I choose a heat pump hot water system that’s right for my home?
The type of heat pump hot water system you choose for your home comes down to a few key variables: the number of people in your house, how often you use your hot water, and your budget. We can help you work these out, and give you the information you need to choose the hot water system that best suits your household.
What size heat pump hot water system should I buy?
The size of the solar or electric heat pump hot water system you buy depends on the number of people living in your household, and how often you use it. A good rule of thumb is:
- 1-2 people: 90L – 150L
- 2-3 people: 150L – 190L
- 3-4 people: 190L – 230L
- 5+ people: 230L or more
How much does a heat pump hot water system cost to install?
Our solar heat pump hot water systems start at around $1,890 and increase from there.
Will a heat pump hot water system actually save me money?
Yes, a heat pump hot water system has the potential to save your household hundred of dollars every year. Both a solar and traditional option draw far less energy or electricity than a traditional hot water system, reducing your electricity use significantly. Some models can save as much as $950 per year in electricity costs, meaning the entire heat pump hot water system can pay for itself in as little as two or three years.
Can I install a solar or standard heat pump hot water system if I don’t already have one?
Yes, the good news is that a heat pump hot water system is relatively easy and efficient to install. When compared to other options, all you need is the space and an electricity connection.
If you’re considering a solar powered option, you’ll first need a solar panel system installed on your roof. If so, you can then go about installing a new solar heat pump hot water system as quickly and efficiently as a regular system.
If you’re looking at either of these options for your home, we can come and take a look at your space to determine what’s needed to install a new hot water system.
Help! I don’t have any hot water. What should I do?
If the water coming from your heat pump hot water system isn’t hot, it could be for a number of reasons.
- Your hot water tank might be some distance from your tap. Run your hot water tap until it becomes hot. Be sure to collect the water you run and re-use it on your garden.
- If using a traditional heat pump, check to see that it’s still connected to a power source.
- If you’re running a solar option, check the outside weather conditions. Solar panels can drop in efficiency when not exposed to direct sunlight, such as on a cloudy day.
- Check the thermostat to make sure it’s set at a hot enough temperature.
- There may be another issue. If you’ve tried these solutions and there’s still no hot water, give Plumb It Right a call on 08 9577 2786 immediately.
