Heat Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repair

Forget gas, forget electric, heat pump technology is the future of hot water systems!

Heat pump technology is relatively new in the market and can save thousands in hot water bills especially when paired with solar power and in hot climates like we have in Australia.

Heat Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repair
Istore is one of several popular brands of heat pump hot water systems we offer

Heat pumps use a refrigeration-type technology similar in nature to a reverse cycle air conditioner that is more efficient than traditional hot water systems. They use the latent heat from the air combined with compressor technology to heat the water.

This technology is typically 3-5x more effective than more traditional "heating element" style electric hot water systems and gas burning systems.

Heat pumps are also an excellent alternative to solar hot water, which may not be practical for all homes where the roof may be in the shade or where the roof may not be accessible or where tight strata rules make it difficult to get permission for a roof mounted unit.

The savings in operating costs are also fantastic in small business and commercial environments where every dollar saved falls to the bottom line and where more a traditional solar hot water system is not an option because there's no access to the roof.

Government rebates are available

Government rebates are available in most locations to help offset the cost of installing a heat pump. Rebate programs are provided both at the State and Federal Government level and do change over time. Your local Tap Doctor Plumber can work with you to claim all available rebates for your heat pump install.

For a typical family home, there’s potential for a heat pump system to save $1000+ per year on hot water bills which is a significant saving - even more so if combined with a solar power system.

Heat Pump Prices Are Similar To Traditional Hot Water Units

Heat pump pricing is on par with a typical solar hot water system and potentially cheaper depending on the rebates you’re eligible for.

Heat Pump Models We Install

We supply and install 2.4kW heat pumps from Rheem and Everhot. Each model comes in a standard version and a Blue Anode version, which suits areas with harder water (total dissolved solids between 600 and 2,500 mg/L).

  • Rheem AmbiPower 280e: a 280 litre integrated heat pump using R290 refrigerant, with an ultra low global warming potential (GWP) of less than 3.
  • Rheem AmbiPower MDc-180: a compact 180 litre integrated heat pump, available with low GWP R513a or R134a refrigerant. A back-up element keeps water at 60ºC on the coldest winter nights.
  • Everhot 280L: an Australian-made 280 litre heat pump using R290 ultra low GWP refrigerant.
