How heat pump hot water works
A heat pump uses electricity to move heat from the surrounding air into stored water. The tank keeps heated water ready for showers, washing and daily use. You do not need solar panels, although available solar generation may supply some of the electricity used for heating.
We look at hot water demand, peak shower times, available space, access, airflow, drainage, pipework and the electrical supply before recommending equipment.

Fit hot water into your home energy plan
We can review heating schedules against your solar generation, tariff and other major loads. Tell us about any existing or planned home battery or EV charging so we can consider the loads together. Settings must suit your household and retain manufacturer-required heating cycles.
The quote will set out the agreed equipment and work. Vortex handles the electrical scope and coordinates the appropriately licensed trades required for plumbing and any gas disconnection. This service focuses on planned hot water upgrades.
Heat pump hot water questions
Can I replace gas or electric hot water?
Either may be suitable. We first check your existing system, water connections, electrical supply and a suitable equipment location.
How do we choose the right size?
We consider shower habits, baths, visitors, peak demand and reheating opportunities. Household numbers alone do not determine the right system.
How much will I save?
That depends on your current heater, hot water use, energy prices, climate and operating settings. Any estimate needs to reflect your home and its energy plan.
Can I start without a site visit?
Yes. A remote review is a useful starting point. We will identify whether an on-site check is needed before confirming the scope.
