Heat pumps are without question more economical and efficient than any other form of home heating. With the rise in electricity prices due to increase over the next 2 years, inverter heat pumps are the only heating option with low running costs that will help keep your energy bills down.
Installing a good quality heat pump with an energy rating of up to 6 stars will give you up to $4.50 worth of heating value for every $1 spent, in comparison a lower efficiency unit may only give you $2.50 worth of heating value for the same $1. The difference can be around $300 per year, meaning although some lesser known heat pump brands are cheaper to purchase, the savings can be negated in the first year or so with the higher running costs.
