Why Choose This System

Five Years of Awards. Proven Performance.

The iStore 180L has been voted Australia’s best heat pump hot water system by real customers on ProductReview.com.au for five consecutive years from 2021 to 2025. Engineered for Australian conditions, it delivers 4kW of heat for every 1kW of electricity consumed — reducing CO2 emissions by up to 2.9 tonnes per year.

Up to 70% Less Energy

The iStore converts 1kW of electricity into 4kW of heat — reducing hot water energy costs by up to 70% compared to electric resistance systems, and up to 77.5% compared to gas. Installing an iStore could save you up to $1,000 per year on energy bills.

🌿

R290 Natural Refrigerant

Uses R290 (propane) — a natural refrigerant with near-zero global warming potential. Higher efficiency than synthetic alternatives, and an environmentally responsible choice that produces no harmful gases during normal operation.

☀️

Solar Timer Ready

Dual built-in timers let you schedule heating during peak solar generation hours to maximise self-consumption. Set it to run from 10am to 4pm and let your solar PV power your hot water — reducing running costs to as little as $100 per year.

🏆

Voted #1 Five Years Running

ProductReview.com.au has awarded iStore the #1 heat pump hot water system every year from 2021 to 2025 — based on verified reviews from real Australian customers. The most trusted heat pump in Australia.
