Heat pumps sized for big Berwick families, from Emerald, iStore, Reclaim and Haier. Our plumber and electrician replace the old unit together, normally in a day, with the VEU discount and STCs taken off the price.
Hot water is a bigger deal in Berwick than in most suburbs because of who lives here. Four and five bedroom homes with teenagers, back-to-back showers in the morning and a dishwasher and washing machine running every day put real demand on the tank. A system sized for a couple will run cold by the third shower.
In the older estates such as Timbarra and Brentwood Park, built through the 1990s and 2000s, the original gas hot water is now at the age where it fails without much warning. The newest streets were built without a gas connection, so whatever the builder fitted is already electric, and the question there is whether it is an efficient heat pump or something cheaper to buy and dearer to run. Either way, the hot water systems Berwick owners ask us about are nearly always heat pumps.
A heat pump uses about a quarter of the energy of a gas storage unit to make the same hot water, and most Berwick homes have solar on a large roof to run it in the middle of the day. For a family of four to six we usually start at 270L to 300L, and go larger for bigger households. More on what else we do in Berwick.
Four brands and a range of tank sizes. We replace old systems rather than repair them.
The Emerald All-In-One Pro in 320L and the Haier 500 Series in 330L give a busy Berwick household more in reserve for the morning. We size from how many people shower and when, not from the old tank label.
For four to six people with normal use, a 270L to 300L heat pump does the job. The iStore 270L and Emerald 270L are the ones we fit most often at this size.
Australian made, with the heat pump separate from the tank. Useful where the tank needs to stay in a set position on a two-storey home but the outdoor unit is better placed elsewhere.
Most Berwick homes already have solar, and many have a battery. We set the heat pump to run while the panels are producing, so the tank is hot by mid-afternoon on sunshine.
The full range is on our products page.
The Emerald All-In-One Pro heat pump, app-controlled, in 220L, 270L and 320L sizes.
An Australian-made split heat pump, with the tank and the outdoor unit able to sit apart.
The iStore 270L all-in-one heat pump, a common straight swap for a family-sized gas tank.
The Haier 500 Series monoblock heat pump water heater, in 200L, 250L and 330L sizes.
One in Berwick, one in Cranbourne West and one across in Langwarrin, each written up in full.

Berwick is in the VEU area. The discount on heat pump hot water is largest when you are replacing a gas unit, as in the older estates. We apply it on the quote.
With a heat pump timed to the solar, much of the hot water is made from your roof. If you are adding or upgrading panels, see solar and battery in Berwick.
Small-scale technology certificates on eligible heat pumps, lodged by us and taken off the price.
A heat pump swap needs a plumber and an electrician. We send both, from our own staff.

It depends on how many people live there rather than the number of bedrooms. A 270L to 300L tank suits four to six people with normal use. Larger households often go to the Emerald 320L or Haier 330L.
Replacing before it fails means you choose the timing and avoid days of cold showers. A gas to heat pump swap is normally done in one day.
Often, yes. A heat pump uses far less energy than a standard electric element tank. We look at what was fitted and tell you honestly if it is worth changing.
Yes. We set a timer so it heats while the panels are producing. With a large Berwick array, that covers much of the energy it needs.
No. We replace old or failing systems with heat pumps. We do not repair existing units.
The Victorian Energy Upgrades discount and federal STCs, both taken off the quote. The VEU discount is largest when replacing gas.
We check your household, the old unit and the board, then send a written price with incentives already applied. No obligation.
