Why Does a Heat Pump Suit This Town?

A heat pump runs a fan, refrigerant and compressor to gather heat from outdoor air and pass it to the stored water.

Family houses

Census figures count 93.0 per cent of Branxton dwellings as separate houses, with 2.9 people per household on average, so a correctly sized unit matters. Gas, solar and electric choices sit side by side on our hot water page.

Newer estates

The brick homes in the recent subdivisions were built quickly in volume, and as their first water heaters reach replacement age, a heat pump is one of the choices worth pricing alongside a like-for-like swap.

"[The plumber] & his young helper were courteous, well mannered & competent when replacing the solar hot water station pump at my property" Jennifer

Big Houses, Heavier Loads

Sizing for the household

With 52.8 per cent of homes here at four or more bedrooms, a big house can run several showers in a row each evening, and a heat pump sized for that load keeps up without the household running cold.

Frost and placement

On area-level figures the valley floor gets 8.1 frosty mornings a year. A unit placed in open air, away from a cold hollow or a closed-in corner, recovers better on those mornings than one squeezed into a tight side passage.

What Goes Into the Quoted Price?

We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.

The unit itself is the starting point: its tank size has to suit the number of people and bathrooms.

The rest of the price comes from:

Rework Where the old cylinder's connections need new runs to suit the heat pump
Position Since the unit needs airflow and a cramped block takes more planning
Removing the old cylinder Especially from a hard-to-reach spot

When We're Not the Right Call

A new circuit

Should the unit need its own power circuit, or the outlet at that spot be wrong for it, that wiring is for a licensed electrician.

A sound tank, light use

For a one or two person household with a cylinder in good order, a repair may be the better value than a full changeover. Continuous-flow gas is covered under gas fitting, and a cylinder that fails overnight is an emergency plumber call.

Questions Heat Pump Owners Ask

Is a heat pump hot water system a good fit for a Branxton house?

For many homes, yes. Census figures put 52.8 per cent of Branxton dwellings at four bedrooms or more, so evening hot water demand can be heavy, and the unit has to be sized for it. Before suggesting one, the plumber looks over where it would sit and the pipes it would join.

Do heat pumps cope with the valley's frosty winter mornings?

Area-level figures show the valley averaging 8.1 frosts each year. A heat pump keeps working in cold air, though it takes longer to reheat on a freezing morning, so choosing a model rated for colder conditions and placing it well both matter.

What happens to the old cylinder when the new unit goes in?

We drain it, disconnect it and cart it off on the day. That is listed in the quote you approve, so you know before the work starts what happens to it.

Can the house keep hot water through the changeover?

The old cylinder stays connected and heating until the new unit arrives. If delivery is delayed and the old one has already failed, a temporary hot water tank can cover the gap.
