  • Australian residential heat-load formula
  • Adjusts for ceiling height, orientation, insulation, glazing, occupants
  • Recommends a cooling capacity range (kW) + closest standard model size

Hot Water Savings Calculator

How much will a heat pump save me?

Compare your current gas or electric hot water annual cost against a modern heat pump. Applies the Victorian VEU rebate to the install cost and projects the payback period over 10 years — the fastest way to see if the upgrade actually pays for itself.

  • Handles gas storage, gas continuous, electric peak, off-peak and solar-boost
  • VEU rebate applied to net install cost
  • Payback in years + 10-year total savings

Running Cost Calculator

What will this cost me to run?

Estimate the electricity cost of running an aircon or heat pump per day, week and year. Uses your unit's kW input (or capacity + COP), your usage hours and your electricity price to project the real running cost.

  • Works for split, multi-head, ducted and heat pump hot water
  • COP + capacity → kW input conversion built in
  • Shows cost per day, per week and per year at your electricity rate
