Why Are Households Here Swapping to Heat Pumps?
Because the old tanks are dying and the climate here suits the replacement. A heat pump harvests warmth from the air rather than burning it out of an element, so it does less work for the same showers. Three things push a household toward the swap:
- An electric storage tank from the 1970s-80s estate years that has run past its design life
- A running-cost squeeze from a big unit heating water all day for a family household
- A tank failure that makes the decision for you, which is where a temporary hot water tank keeps showers running while the new system is sorted
If gas is already at the house, a continuous-flow gas unit is the other contender, and the gas fitting team connects those too.
Does Your Place Suit One?
The unit needs three things to earn its keep, and we check all three before quoting:
- Airflow around it, since the heat pump draws warmth through a fan and cannot sit boxed into a sealed cupboard
- Ground to stand on, because the tank and its compressor live together on a slab or stand rather than on the wall
- A power leg it can share or claim, which decides whether an electrician joins the job
A ground-level laundry or a flat patch beside an outside wall ticks all three. Somewhere tighter, we explain what the move involves before anyone commits.
How the Install Runs
Every install follows the same four steps:
- 01
Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4063 1232 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.
- 02
A fixed price first
A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.
- 03
The swap itself
The old tank comes out, the heat pump unit and its tank go onto their stand, and the water and pipe connections are made, filled and tested.
- 04
Covered for a year
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.
How Is the Price Worked Out?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
Four things shape the figure:
- The system itself, with the tank sized to the household rather than one-size-fits-all
- Where the old tank sits, since a ground-level laundry swap is a shorter job than a tight sub-floor
- The electrical leg, where a dedicated circuit means an electrician shares the job
- The timing, because a booking outside daytime hours is quoted at the higher rate before anything is locked in
When we're not the right call: the switchboard and circuit work stays with a licensed electrician. We handle the plumbing, the connections and the commissioning, and the quote names that split before a tool is picked up.

Straight Answers on Heat Pump Hot Water
Will a heat pump hot water unit cope with a Woodberry winter?
Yes. The area averages 1.2 frost days a year and winters here are mild, which is the climate heat pumps like. The unit keeps drawing warmth from the air on cold mornings, and we size the tank so a household of three or four does not run short.
Can a heat pump go where my old Woodberry tank sits?
In many homes, yes. A laundry or a flat strip beside an outside wall can take a tank plus its heat pump unit. Where the old one sits somewhere cramped, we measure up and explain the move before quoting.
Who handles the electrical side of the install?
A licensed electrician does the circuit work where the unit needs a dedicated supply, and we do the plumbing, the water connections and the commissioning. That split is written into the quote before work starts, so the job has no surprises in it.
Does a heat pump hot water system need servicing?
A periodic check keeps it running its best, and every install we do carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did is not right, ring the same number and we come back to it.
