Electric Inverter
Heat Pumps Melbourne

The most energy-efficient way to heat your pool — inverter heat pumps deliver year-round comfort at a fraction of the cost of traditional heating.

Electric inverter heat pumps are the most popular pool heating choice for Melbourne homeowners — and for good reason. They extract heat from ambient air and transfer it to your pool water, making them up to 5–6 times more efficient than direct electric heating. With inverter technology, the compressor modulates speed to match heating demand, reducing energy consumption even further and extending the lifespan of the unit. Weston Pool Co supplies and installs heat pumps from the industry's most trusted brands.

COP of Up to 6.0

Coefficient of Performance (COP) measures efficiency — the best inverter heat pumps deliver 6kW of heat for every 1kW of electricity consumed. That's a massive reduction in running costs compared to gas or direct electric heating.

Quiet Inverter Operation

Modern inverter heat pumps run at reduced speeds when the pool is near temperature, meaning quiet, efficient background operation — not the loud on/off cycling of older fixed-speed units.

Year-Round Heating Capability

Our recommended heat pumps operate effectively down to 5°C ambient air temperature, making them suitable for year-round pool heating across Melbourne's climate.

Works with Rooftop Solar PV

Schedule your heat pump to run during peak solar generation hours and effectively heat your pool for free using electricity from your own rooftop panels.

All Major Brands Supplied

We supply and install Madimack, Hurlcon, Rheem, Hayward, Aqua-Pure and other leading inverter heat pump brands — we'll recommend the right brand and model for your pool size.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a pool heat pump cost to run?

Running costs vary depending on the pool size, target temperature and ambient conditions. As a rough guide, a quality inverter heat pump heating an average 50,000L pool in Melbourne typically costs $50–$150/month to run — significantly less than gas heating.

What size heat pump do I need for my pool?

Heat pump sizing depends on your pool's volume, surface area, location, and target temperature. We carry out a full assessment before recommending a model. Generally, a well-sized heat pump for a standard residential pool ranges from 12kW to 20kW heat output.

How long does a pool heat pump last?

Quality inverter heat pumps are designed to last 10–15 years or longer with proper maintenance. Regular servicing helps maximise the lifespan and efficiency of your system.

Can a heat pump heat my pool in winter?

Yes — modern inverter heat pumps operate effectively in ambient temperatures as low as 5°C, which covers Melbourne winters well. On very cold days, the heat pump works harder and less efficiently, but it will still maintain your set pool temperature.
