As energy costs climb and climate-conscious choices become a priority, heat pumps in Victoria are gaining serious traction. More homeowners are replacing old furnaces or baseboard heating with high-efficiency heat pump systems that not only cut monthly energy bills, but also reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
If you’ve been wondering whether a heat pump is the right move for your home, this guide breaks down the benefits, rebate options, system types, and what to expect when you work with Accutemp Heating & Air Conditioning—Victoria’s trusted name in HVAC for over 25 years.
What Is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump is an all-in-one heating and cooling system that transfers heat rather than generating it. In winter, it extracts heat from outdoor air and moves it inside. In summer, it works like an air conditioner—removing heat from inside your home and pushing it outside.
Thanks to Victoria’s mild climate, heat pumps are an ideal fit for year-round comfort without the hefty costs or emissions of traditional systems.
