Why Switch

How Heat Pumps Cut Your Bills

A heat pump pulls warmth from the surrounding air to heat your water, so it uses a fraction of the electricity a traditional electric element does. For most homes that is a large cut to the power bill, and it works well alongside rooftop solar.

Up to 70% Less Energy

Hot water is one of the largest loads on a power bill. A heat pump cuts it right back and uses more of the solar you already make.

Government Rebates

Federal STCs, and NSW energy savings certificates where eligible, bring the upfront cost down. We handle the paperwork for you.

Natural R290 Refrigerant

Both systems run on R290, a natural refrigerant with a very low global warming potential and far kinder to the environment than the older synthetic gases.

6-Year Warranty

Both units come with a 6 year heat pump warranty, and they are installed by a licensed local team you can call.

Rebates & Choice

Rebates Bring the Price Down, and You Can Choose Any Brand

Replacing an old electric or gas storage system usually qualifies for federal STCs, with NSW energy savings certificates on top where eligible. Sydney is in STC Zone 3, so most Eastern Suburbs homes qualify. We confirm what your job is eligible for and include it in your quote.

The Reclaim and Apricus are the systems we recommend, but they are not your only options. We can supply and install any brand or model you prefer, so you get the right unit for your home.

Common Questions

Heat Pump FAQs

A heat pump moves heat rather than creating it, so it uses a fraction of the energy a conventional electric storage system does. That is often up to 70 to 80% less on your hot water. Your actual saving depends on the size of your household, how you use hot water and your electricity plan, so we give you an estimate for your home before you commit.

Most Eastern Suburbs homes replacing an electric or gas storage system qualify for federal Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), and there may be additional NSW Energy Savings Scheme certificates available. Sydney sits in STC Zone 3. The value of these incentives changes over time and by property, so we confirm what your job qualifies for and factor it into your quote.

Yes. The units we install are rated to operate in ambient temperatures well below anything the Eastern Suburbs sees, and they include an electric element that tops up on the coldest mornings. Coastal Sydney is one of the easiest climates in the country for a heat pump to perform in year round.

Modern all-in-one units are quiet. The Apricus 260L is rated at around 43 decibels, which is similar to a quiet fridge, and the Reclaim Eco is also built for quiet operation. We can advise on the best position on your property to keep any noise away from bedrooms and neighbours.

The Reclaim Eco is our premium pick. It is Australian made, very efficient and quiet, and it suits people who want the best. The Apricus 260L is our best value option with a larger tank, which suits bigger households that still want strong efficiency at a lower price. On a free on-site visit we match the right unit to your household and hot water use.

Yes. These two are the systems we recommend and stock, but we can procure and install any brand or model a client prefers. If you already have a unit in mind, or you are matching an existing setup, just let us know.
