Hot water
that sips
daylight.
Hot water is usually the second biggest energy load in a Melbourne home. A heat pump moves warmth from the air into the tank using about a quarter of the power — and we time it to run on your solar surplus.
The tank in your side passage quietly spends more than almost anything else you own.
An old electric or gas storage unit reheats around the clock, mostly at the exact hours energy costs the most. It's a standing charge disguised as an appliance.
A heat pump uses a quarter of the input and can be scheduled to heat in the middle of the day — when your roof is producing more than the house can use.
The cheapest hot
shower in Melbourne.
Indexed annual hot water cost, with an old electric storage tank set at 100. Timing the cycle to daylight is what takes it to single digits.
Swapped in a day,
hot by evening.
- Old gas or electric unit decommissioned and removed
- New tank on a compliant base with tempering valve and relief drain
- Dedicated circuit and timer wired to your solar window
- Gas line capped safely and meter abolishment arranged if needed
- Full flush, test and temperature check before we leave
Same shower.
A quarter of the input.
COP up to 5.0
Five units of heat delivered for one unit of electricity in mild conditions — physics doing the work.
Solar-timed heating
The cycle runs at midday so the tank charges on surplus, not peak-rate grid power.
Gas-free household
Replacing the last gas appliance lets you abolish the meter and its daily charge.

Versus an old electric storage tank, before the gas supply charge disappears.
Out with the old, in with the new — hot water back before dinner.
Rebate eligibility depends on your existing system and household. We confirm it before quoting and apply it to the invoice.
“Gone by lunchtime, new one running by three, and the gas meter was abolished a fortnight later. Bills dropped immediately.”
Heat pumps,
answered.
It runs a refrigeration cycle in reverse, pulling warmth out of the surrounding air and moving it into the tank. Because it moves heat rather than creating it, it uses roughly a quarter of the electricity of a conventional electric element.
Every part talks
to the others.
Solar, storage, charging, comfort and hot water are designed together — not bolted on one at a time.
