Gas storage and instantaneous units replaced with an Emerald, Reclaim, iStore or Haier heat pump, normally in one day, by our own plumber and electrician working together. The VEU discount and STCs come off the quote.
Clyde North homes were mostly built on the estates over the last fifteen or so years, and the earlier streets were plumbed for gas. That usually means a gas hot water unit on a side wall, either a storage tank or an instantaneous unit, and plenty of them are now old enough to be thinking about. Across the hot water systems Clyde North households replace with us, the common thread is the family: a unit picked when the house was built is not always sized for the household living there now.
A heat pump makes the same hot water with about a quarter of the energy of a gas storage unit. For a family of four to six with normal use, a 270L to 300L tank covers it. Set it to run through the middle of the day and, if there are panels on the roof, most of that energy comes from your own solar instead of the grid.
Where a newer home was built without gas, the existing unit is electric, and a heat pump still makes sense for the running cost. Either way we look at where the unit sits, how much room the side path gives us and what the switchboard can take, then quote it with the other work we do in Clyde North.
Hot water systems Clyde North families choose from us come from four brands. All are heat pumps, and all go in with our own plumber and electrician on site.
A one-piece unit with the heat pump built into the tank, in 220L, 270L and 320L. It can usually go where the old gas tank stood, which keeps the swap simple on a tidy estate side path.
Australian made, with the tank and the heat pump as separate pieces. That helps when the side path is too narrow for a one-piece unit: the tank goes against the wall and the heat pump sits wherever there is room.
A 270L unit that suits the typical family of four to six. We fitted one in nearby Langwarrin, designed as one system with solar, a battery and an EV charger.
A monoblock heat pump in 200L, 250L and 330L. The 330L suits a bigger household, the 200L a couple or a small townhouse.
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.
None of these is in Clyde North itself. Two are in neighbouring Casey suburbs, and one is a family home in Langwarrin.
A 250 litre Reclaim heat pump went in with 24 Aiko Neostar panels, a single-phase Sigenergy hybrid and three SigenStor modules. The owner chose not to wait until he had saved for it.
Heat pump hot water installed alongside 34 Jinko panels on tile 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 busy family home where a 270L iStore heat pump, 21.85kW of Jinko solar, a 45.2kWh Sigenergy battery and an EV charger were designed as one system, with the battery behind an upgraded switchboard in the garage.
A gas to heat pump swap is normally done in one day, with our plumber and electrician on site together.
Gas storage, gas instantaneous or electric, we note the size, where it sits and how the pipes run to the house.
Usually 270L to 300L for a family of four to six, larger or smaller to suit the household.
The VEU discount and STCs are taken off the price on the quote, and we lodge both.
The plumber removes the old unit and connects the new one while the electrician runs its circuit, on the same spot or the best spot nearby.
If you have solar we set it to heat in the sunniest part of the day, then walk you through the controls.
You never claim anything back yourself. Both come off at point of sale and we do the lodging.
The VEU discount on heat pump hot water is largest when the heat pump replaces a gas unit, which is the usual case in the earlier Clyde North streets.
Small-scale technology certificates apply to heat pump hot water as well as solar panels, and come off the same quote.
Hot water is often the first gas appliance to go. Our Clyde North home electrification page covers the heating, cooktop and solar that can follow it.
A heat pump is half plumbing and half electrical. We employ both trades, so the job does not stall between them.
Four brands and tanks from 200L to 330L, so the unit suits the family rather than the other way round.
Our own plumbers and A-Grade electricians, so nobody waits on another contractor to turn up.
If you have panels, or are getting them, the heat pump is timed to use them.
We do not repair old systems. We take the old unit out and fit a new heat pump properly.

Questions about your unit? Call 0466 355 441.
For four to six people with normal use, 270L to 300L. Smaller households can go to 220L or 250L, and a large household may suit 320L or 330L.
Yes. A heat pump stores hot water, so it needs a spot on the ground against an outside wall rather than a box on the wall. We look at the side path and choose a one-piece or split unit to suit.
A heat pump makes hot water with about a quarter of the energy of a gas storage unit. What that means for your bill depends on your tariff and whether you have solar.
Yes, for heat pump hot water systems Clyde North homes install, and it is largest when a gas unit is replaced. STCs apply as well. Both come off the quote and we lodge them.
No. We replace hot water systems, we do not repair them. If yours is failing, the quote covers removal and the new heat pump in one visit.
Yes, if you want it to. We program it for the middle of the day so it heats while the panels are producing.
Tell us what you have now and how many people live there. We come back with a size, a brand and one price with the discounts already off.
