Why Move Off Electric Storage?
An electric storage tank heats every litre with an element, and many tanks from the original 1980s and 1990s construction are past their service life. A heat pump moves heat instead of making it, so it uses much less power, and in a suburb of family homes more showers mean bigger savings.
- Lower running costs than a like-for-like electric storage replacement
- Works with the same plumbing, so the changeover is straightforward on most blocks
- Handles the hot, dry summers and cold winter starts the Lower Hunter serves up
- One unit outside, so the old indoor tank's floor space comes back
If you are still weighing gas or a straight tank swap, our hot water service compares every system type.
Does Your Block Suit One?
Most blocks answer this quickly. Brick-veneer detached houses make up nearly all of the suburb, with some newer townhouses, so an outside wall near the old tank position is usually available.
We check three things at the quote:
- A spot outside with free airflow, away from bedroom windows
- Whether the existing pipe runs can be kept or have to be renewed
- Daily hot water demand, because five people need a bigger tank than two

What the Quote Is Built On
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
- The position of the new unit, since longer pipe runs from the old tank take more time and materials
- Whether the existing pipework can be reused or needs replacing back to the meter
- Taking the old tank away, which is part of the price
- An after-hours booking, which carries the after-hours rate

When We're Not the Right Call

Heat Pump Questions From Local Households
Does a heat pump suit a brick-veneer family home here?
Yes. With 93.9 per cent of dwellings here separate houses, most have a side or rear wall with room and airflow for the outdoor unit. The quote visit fixes the exact spot so it runs quietly and does not recirculate its own cold air.
How long does the swap take on a standard estate block?
A straightforward swap is one day's work. Out comes the old electric tank, the heat pump goes onto a slab or bracket outdoors, and a pressure test on the pipework closes the day.
What happens to our hot water while the swap is on?
If the old tank has already died, a loan tank can go in so showers keep running until the heat pump arrives. We remove it once the new unit is running.
Do you handle the electrical side of the install?
The plumbing side of the job is ours. Any new circuit or switchboard work for the heat pump is done by a licensed electrician, and you know before work starts which parts sit with each trade.
