Why Heat Pump?

Heat pump hot water systems are the most energy-efficient way to heat water in Australian homes. They work like a reverse air conditioner — extracting heat from the air and transferring it to your water, using up to 75% less electricity than a conventional electric storage system.

Hot water running out faster than usual
Energy bills higher than expected
System more than 10 years old
Noisy operation — rattling, hissing or popping
Visible rust or corrosion on the unit
Water pooling around the base of the system
Inconsistent water temperature

Common questions

Heat Pump FAQs

What NSW rebates are available for heat pump hot water?

The NSW Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS) offers rebates of up to $1,000 for eligible heat pump installations. The amount depends on your existing system and property type. We'll confirm your eligibility before quoting.

How much does a heat pump hot water system cost to run?

Heat pumps use 60–75% less electricity than a standard electric storage system. A typical household can expect annual running costs of $200–$400, compared to $800–$1,200 for a conventional electric unit.

Can a heat pump hot water system work with solar panels?

Yes — and it's one of the best combinations available. Set the system to run during peak solar generation hours (typically 10am–3pm) and you can heat your water almost for free. We can configure the timer during installation.

Which brands do you install?

We install Reclaim Energy, Sanden, Rheem, Dux, Rinnai, Chromagen, and Apricus. We'll recommend the best fit for your property size, climate, and budget.

How long does a heat pump hot water system last?

A quality heat pump system will typically last 10–15 years with minimal maintenance. The heat pump compressor is the main wear component — most brands offer 5-year warranties on the compressor.

Can you install a heat pump in a small space?

Split-system heat pumps separate the tank from the compressor, making them suitable for tighter spaces. Integrated units need adequate airflow around the unit. We'll assess your space during the free site visit.
