iStore 270L
The unit we put in on our Langwarrin job. An all-in-one design that drops into the gap a gas tank leaves, sized right for most families.
- 270L all-in-one
- Fitted in Langwarrin
- Family of four to six
A heat pump in place of the old gas or electric tank, fitted by our plumber and electrician together in about a day. Timed to run on your solar, with the VEU discount and STCs taken off the price.
Most of the Langwarrin homes we visit were built between the 1960s and the 1980s, and the hot water is usually a storage tank against the side wall. Many run on gas, some on an electric element. Either way it is one of the larger energy users in the house, and when it starts to struggle it is a good moment to change what makes the hot water, not just the tank.
A heat pump uses about a quarter of the energy of a gas storage unit. It fits in a similar footprint, and for a family of four to six a 270L to 300L tank covers normal use. That is the size we fitted at a busy family home in Langwarrin: a 270L iStore, designed into the same system as 21.85kW of solar and a 45.2kWh battery so the hot water heats during the day on the roof's output.
Not every house needs the whole package, and many hot water systems Langwarrin owners ask us about are simple one-day swaps. Our plumber and electrician arrive together, take the old unit away and leave the new one running by the evening. More on our Langwarrin work.
Brands we know well and can support. We replace old systems rather than repair them.
The unit we put in on our Langwarrin job. An all-in-one design that drops into the gap a gas tank leaves, sized right for most families.
Three sizes, 220L, 270L and 320L, so we can match it to a couple, a family or a bigger household without overspending.
Australian made, with the heat pump separate from the tank, for side paths where the tank can stay put but the outdoor unit is better placed further along.
In 200L, 250L and 330L. A good fit where an electric element tank is being replaced and the household size is at either end of the range.
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.

Our Langwarrin job, one in Baxter next door and one down the Peninsula.

Yes. A heat pump replaces an electric element tank just as easily, and uses much less power to make the same hot water. STCs apply, and we check the VEU discount for your situation.
A 270L to 300L tank suits four to six people with normal use. The Langwarrin home on this page has a 270L iStore.
A gas to heat pump swap is normally done in one day, with the plumber and electrician on site together.
Yes. We set a timer so it heats while the panels are producing, which is how the Langwarrin job above runs.
No. We replace old systems with heat pumps. We do not repair existing units.
The incentives for heat pump hot water are the Victorian Energy Upgrades discount and federal STCs. We apply both on the quote.
We look at your old unit, the space and the board, then send a written price with the incentives applied. No obligation.
