A day night switch will need to be installed on a heat pump
in South Australia for the majority of installations, this
is due to the need for a heat pump to run longer than off
peak allows. This requirement is generally in winter when
you use more hot water, the water is colder to start with,
& the heat pump needs to work harder with lower ambient
air temperature.
**
A heat pump connected to the peak tariff will allow you to
remove your off peak meter, which can save you money per qtr
off your energy bill.
