The difference
What each option actually means
Heat pumps transfer heat using electricity; conventional electric storage uses resistance heating.
The trade-offs
Efficiency, upfront expense, operating conditions, sound, space and household consumption all matter.
How to decide
Compare model performance, installation constraints, rebates and maintenance requirements.
Before choosing
A plumber should assess suitability, condition, access and applicable requirements. Product or repair recommendations made without seeing the property are preliminary. Ask for the proposed scope, exclusions and relevant warranty details before approving the work.
