Hot Water System
Let’s be real. If your business is still relying on one of those electric units from the early 2000s, you’re falling behind. In 2025, a commercial hot water upgrade isn’t just about fixing the system if it is broken. It’s about cutting energy bills, and doing your bit for the planet without blowing the budget. With the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program dishing out rebates, the time to act is right now.
Heat Pumps: The Quiet Achiever
Efficient heat pump technology has come a long way. These aren’t your average household water heaters. We’re talking about industrial-grade heat pump water heaters designed to churn out serious hot water supply with minimal energy consumption. The best commercial heat pump hot water systems are innovative, sustainable, and whisper-quiet and they don’t need to work overtime to deliver. You’re running a cafe, aged care home, factory or gym, or farm sheds; these systems are built to handle the load.
Why This Isn’t Just Another Upgrade
A commercial hot water upgrade slashes your energy consumption, trims your carbon footprint, and helps you tick that “sustainability” box clients care about more than ever. Also, with a proper storage tank setup, you’re never short on hot water, even during peak hours.
Massive Rebates!
With the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, your out-of-pocket cost for a full-blown commercial hot water upgrade is often peanuts compared to the actual system value. We’re talking thousands in savings thanks to Victorian energy efficiency certificates. With the right installer like Ecofoot, you can access rebates for energy saving upgrades that cover a big chunk of the cost. That means you get a premium heat pump system for a fraction of what you’d normally pay.
While every site is different, most businesses only need to make a small co-contribution after rebates. That includes the system itself and the standard installation. No sneaky costs, no red tape headaches. Just a straight-up switch to a better system.
Gas or Electric? Neither
Gas or electric hot water systems have had their day. Sure, they did the job, but they’re expensive to run and worse for the environment. A commercial hot water upgrade using hot water heat pumps is a game-changer. They’re up to four times more energy efficient than traditional units, and are designed to perform in Aussie conditions even when it’s chilly.
Why? Heat Pumps
From the local laundromat to the family-run bakery, commercial heat pump hot water systems are popping up everywhere. Why?
Because business owners are waking up to the fact that energy-efficient products don’t just help the environment, they help them cut costs too.
What Makes a Good Heat Pump System?
The answer is simple: performance, reliability, and backup support. A solid commercial heat pump water system comes with a reliable storage tank, delivers consistent pressure, and doesn’t throw a wobble when you need it most. It’s not just an appliance, it’s a long-term investment in your business’s resilience.

With the VEU rebate, most businesses only pay around $200. EcoFoot handles the rest, making it a ripper deal for long-term energy savings.
