Based on your requirements, a heat pump is a great option to replace an existing similar-sized electric water heater, as it often uses similar plumbing and electrical connections (some modifications may be required). Also, each heat pump comes with a 7-year cylinder warranty⁴.

Disclaimers:
1. Energy savings of up to 73% (Ambiheat HDc-270 & AmbiPower 280e) and 70% (AmbiPower MDc-180) are based on Australian Government approved TRNSYS simulation modelling using a medium load in Zone 3 and apply when replacing a storage electric water heater of similar size with a Rheem 571D270, 551E280 & 551D180 Heat Pump water heaters. Any savings will vary depending upon your location, type of water heater being replaced, hot water consumption and fuel tariff. The impact on an electricity account will depend on the tariff arrangement of the water heater being replaced and where you live.
2. COP is measured under test conditions with an ambient air temperature of 19˚C/15˚C (Dry Bulb/Wet Bulb) and heating of the water from 15˚C to 60˚C during water heater operation.
3. The specified -5˚C to 43˚C (onwards) temperature ranges is the operational range of the Heat Pump. The electric element activates when the ambient air temperature is outside this range and heating of the water is required.
4. Warranty: 7 years cylinder supply, 3 years cylinder labour, 3 years sealed system supply and labour and 1 year parts supply and labour. The warranty periods apply to installations in a single-family domestic dwelling only.
