About Hot Water Savings

We help Australian households switch to heat pump water heaters with independent, data-driven recommendations — so you can save on energy bills and cut emissions with confidence.

Our mission

Hot Water Savings exists to make the switch from gas and electric storage hot water to heat pumps simple, transparent, and affordable. Only a small fraction of Australian homes use heat pump water heaters today — largely because choosing the right system is confusing. We are changing that.

Our goal is to give every household access to clear, evidence-based advice tailored to their home, usage, and budget.

What we do

We combine specifications for heat pumps available in the Australian market with real usage data from households across the country. That lets us estimate running costs, payback periods, and environmental impact for your specific situation — not generic lab figures from overseas.

Through our recommendation report and HydroSmart dashboard, we give you the tools to understand your options, track performance after installation, and make informed decisions at every step.

Who we are

Hot Water Savings is built by a team of energy analysts, engineers, and product specialists based in Australia. We are independent — we do not manufacture heat pumps or take commissions from installers — so our recommendations are driven by data, not sales targets.

We partner with certified installers and draw on Clean Energy Regulator data, manufacturer specifications, and real-world telemetry to keep our advice current and accurate.

Our values

Unbiased. Independent recommendations backed by thorough research in homes right across Australia.

Data-driven. Field data on a wide variety of heat pump water heaters, with more added every week.

Personalised. We consider the factors that matter for your usage, climate zone, and budget — not one-size-fits-all advice.
