Two bathrooms, an ensuite and four or five bedrooms ask a lot of a hot water unit. We replace tired gas systems with a heat pump sized for the household, plumber and electrician together, normally in one day.
Many of the hot water systems Narre Warren South families rely on went in with the house, and the houses went up through the 1990s and 2000s. That puts plenty of them at the age where a gas storage tank starts to weep or an instantaneous unit starts throwing faults. When one fails, the quick answer is another gas unit. The better answer for most families here is a heat pump.
A heat pump makes hot water with about a quarter of the energy of a gas storage unit, and in a big household that difference is used every morning and every night. Size matters too. A 270L to 300L tank covers a family of four to six with normal use, and the larger homes here, with teenagers, an ensuite and a second bathroom running at once, often go a size up. We ask how the house actually uses water before picking one.
Where the unit goes is the other estate-home question. Gas units usually sit on a side path between the house and the fence, and a heat pump needs some air around it. We measure the space, check the drainage and the nearest circuit, and choose between an all-in-one and a split system on that basis. It is one of the jobs we do as part of our work across Narre Warren South.
Every unit is installed by our own plumber and electrician. We replace old systems rather than repair them.
Tank and heat pump in one body, in 220L, 270L and 320L. The 270L suits most families of four to six, and the 320L is the pick for a busy five-bedroom home. A single unit is easy to stand where the old gas tank was.
Australian made, with the heat pump and the tank as separate pieces. Useful where the side path is tight: the tank goes against the wall and the compressor goes where it has airflow, even a few metres along.
A compact all-in-one at 270L, the size most households here need. A common choice when the house already has solar, because it can be timed to heat in the middle of the day.
A monoblock heat pump in 200L, 250L and 330L. The 330L covers a larger household with showers back to back, and the 200L suits a couple or a smaller home.
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.
Our hot water write-ups closest to Narre Warren South are in Berwick, Cranbourne West and Langwarrin. Each went in alongside solar.
Heat pump hot water went in during the same job as 34 Jinko panels on a tile roof and an 18.08kWh Sigenergy battery behind bollards. The main switchboard was upgraded and cement sheeting added to bring the job up to standard.
A 250 litre Reclaim heat pump installed with 24 Aiko Neostar panels and three SigenStor modules on a single-phase Sigenergy hybrid. The owner chose not to wait until he had saved for it.
A busy family home designed as one system: 21.85kW of Jinko solar, 45.2kWh of Sigenergy storage behind an upgraded switchboard in the garage, an EV charger and a 270L iStore heat pump.
A gas to heat pump swap is normally done in one day, with our plumber and electrician on site together.
We note the type, age and position of the current system, the width of the side path, the drainage and the switchboard.
The number of people, bathrooms and showers at peak times decide the tank. Most families here land between 270L and 320L.
The unit, plumbing, electrical work and removal of the old system, with VEU and STCs already deducted.
The plumber disconnects and removes the old unit while the electrician runs the circuit. The heat pump is placed, filled and commissioned.
If you have solar we set the heat pump to run in the middle of the day, then walk you through the controls.
Heat pump hot water carries both a state and a federal incentive. We lodge both, so there is nothing for you to claim.
Narre Warren South is in the VEU area. The discount on a heat pump is largest when it replaces gas, which describes most of the units we change here.
Small-scale technology certificates also apply to heat pump hot water. Like VEU, they come off the price at the point of sale.
For many families hot water is the first step, with heating, cooking and solar to follow. We map out the full order on home electrification in Narre Warren South.
Hot water is half plumbing and half electrical. We have both on staff.
No waiting for a second contractor to connect the power. Both trades arrive on the same morning.
We replace old systems rather than repair them, so you are not paying for another call-out in a year.
BPC 132072 for the plumbing, REC 32300 for the electrical, and nobody on site is a subcontractor.
We install solar too, so the heat pump timer is set around what your roof actually produces.

For a family of four to six with normal use, 270L to 300L is right. Larger households with several showers in a row are usually better on the Emerald 320L or the Haier 330L.
Yes. A heat pump has a tank, so it needs a little more room, usually on the same side path. We check the space and the drainage at the inspection.
Most side paths here take an all-in-one. Where the path is narrow, a Reclaim split lets the tank sit tight to the wall with the compressor placed where it has air.
Usually part of one day. A gas to heat pump swap is normally finished the same day, with the new unit heating before we leave.
Yes. We set it to heat in the middle of the day, so most of its energy comes from the roof rather than the grid.
No. We replace old systems rather than repair them. If yours is leaking or failing, we quote the heat pump with the VEU discount and STCs already taken off.
