Frequently Asked Questions
How does the heat pump work?
The heat pump extracts heat from the surrounding air and transfers it to heat the water in the tank. It functions efficiently even at lower temperatures, aided by an integrated backup heating element to ensure hot water availability under very cold conditions.
What are the energy savings compared to traditional systems?
The Dux Ecosmart 285L Heat Pump reduces energy consumption significantly compared to traditional electric or gas water heaters by harnessing renewable energy from the air. This results in lower utility bills and potential cost savings over time.

How much does a new hot water system cost?
The cost of a new hot water system depends on the type and size. Electric storage systems are the most affordable upfront, while heat pump and solar systems cost more but save on running costs and may qualify for rebates. Call SunCity Hot Water on 1300 728 122 for an all-inclusive supplied-and-installed quote on the Dux Ecosmart 285L.
How long does a hot water system last?
Most hot water systems last 8–12 years. Electric storage systems typically last 8–10 years, while heat pump and solar systems can last 15 years or more with regular servicing.
What size hot water system do I need?
As a guide, 1–2 people suit 125–160L, 3–4 people (a family of four) suit 250–315L, and larger households suit 400L. Continuous-flow gas units are sized by hot water flow rate instead. SunCity will help size the right system for your household.

SunCity Hot Water quotes all-inclusive pricing — supply, installation by licensed plumbers and electricians, tempering and pressure-relief valves, removal of the old unit, QBCC fees and GST — with no hidden extras. Call 1300 728 122 for a fast quote.
