2025 Power rankings

Hey Timana.
I'm sure heat pump HWS can be great. But most tanks will rust out within 12yrs unless change the rod which 99% of people won't.
It may half your electricity costs and save you about $250 a year in power but your paying $3,500 more. If something breaks you won't get someone to repair within 24hrs like a standard tank.
Air cons are also mulitpurpose cooling,heating,dehumidify. They are also extremely efficient. I'd go as far as saying probably around 7-1 when compared area capacity and current draw compared to an old style element heater. And also warm room 5x as fast. They are a very efficient way of heating.

Yeah @Timana

I have a fireplace and now that ive got 14kwh of solar i just use the aircon.

I did pay $3300 for my istore heatpump it does say 10 yr warranty but I figured i was paying like $300 every 2 to 3 months for gas, if it lasts 2 to 3 years I'll get my money back. But probably even faster as solar runs the heatpump and gas prices keep rising. If it does break down i might go back to the old conventional hot water system instead

Can you do a power ranking of the all the items that use power in an average household?

please google the above issues and do some research, COPs for a heat pump are generally 2.5 and some up to 3.0 but 5 and 7 is just nonsense

and copper tanks don't "rust"

Hot water tanks rust and leak the anode rod prevents rusting the tank.
I was talking cost in total. Supply and install.
Most people are able to put in themselves.

sorry, but what does any of that have to do with COPs ?

This stuffs way out of your league buddy.
Now go turn your toaster on to heat the house

OK, so the installation cost has nothing to do with efficiencies

I self-installed my toaster.

So did I and mine is a rollercoaster toaster on a big 4 poster bed. You should see the amount of extension cords I go through. It's killing the efficiency.

Arr you using it to heat your bedroom?

 

[85 Baby]

Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

Not really. Don't get me wrong, it does. But it's there purely for the toast and the ride. It's like free heating. Very efficient.

I’ve installed a Dutch oven to heat my bedroom
