Electric storage water heaters of the unvented type (displacement) without an attached feed tank. Heat exchanger models and low pressure (vented) models are not included at the present time.The following products are exempt from MEPS: Water heaters that use electric resistive heating to provide less than 50% of the energy supplied in a typical year (eg heat pump and solar water heaters) when simulated to AS 4234 under Climate Zone 3 with an energy delivery of 22.5 MJ/day for an electric boosting element and energisation profile specified by the manufacturer.
