♻️ Monthly Impact
In May, thanks to our clients who chose efficient systems such as heat pump hot water systems, air conditioners, and solar systems, we managed to reduce our emissions by 9,781 tonnes of CO₂ – a great contribution towards a more sustainable Australia!
This is equivalent to:
🌳 Planting over 160,000 mature trees
🚗 Taking 2,100 cars off the road for a year
⛽ Saving more than 4.1 million litres of petrol
Considering switching your hot water system but still have doubts?
Heat pump hot water systems are becoming increasingly popular in Australia, yet there are still many myths preventing more households from enjoying their benefits.
At Glower, we’re here to help you separate fact from fiction.
🔥 Myth 1: “They don’t produce enough hot water for the whole family”
FALSE. Modern heat pumps from brands like Neopower, Emerald, iStore, SPT, and other industry leaders can store between 200L and 330L more than enough for the daily needs of the average Australian family.
Many models also feature fast recovery, meaning the water reheats efficiently.
IMPORTANT: Proper guidance is key depending on the number of people in your household and specific needs, the right brand and capacity must be recommended.
🧊 Myth 2: “They don’t work well in cold weather”
FALSE. Heat pump systems are designed to perform even in low temperatures.
All the units we work with are optimised, for Australian conditions, with operating ranges between -10°C and -5°C, so they remain efficient even in winter.
💸 Myth 3: “They’re too expensive and not worth the money”
Although the upfront cost may seem higher, government incentives like the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) significantly lower the final price allowing you to upgrade from just $900 AUD. Plus, the monthly savings on your energy bill mean the system quickly pays for itself.
At Glower, many of our clients have noticed significant changes from their bill.

⚙️ Myth 4: “They need a lot of maintenance and break easily”
On the contrary, heat pump hot water systems have fewer moving parts than gas systems. They only require minimal annual check-ups, and the brands we install at Glower offer warranties ranging from 5 to 7 years.
🌥️ Myth 5: “They don’t work well when it’s cloudy or raining”
This myth is often confused with solar thermal systems. Heat pump hot water systems don’t rely on direct sunlight they work by extracting heat from the air, even on cloudy days. That’s why they’re so highly recommended for all Australian climates!
