Why Do Kahibah Houses Suit a Heat Pump?
A heat pump moves warmth from the outside air into the water, which takes a fraction of the electricity an element needs to heat the same tank from cold.
Census figures put separate houses at 74 per cent of dwellings here, each with an outside wall or yard where a fan unit can sit. Three things help the fit:
- The new unit connects to the existing plumbing, so the swap itself is quick work
- The storage tank can sit where the old one was, with the fan unit mounted nearby
- Households trading off an ageing electric tank get the running-cost drop straight away
What Goes Into the Heat Pump Quote?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
From there, four things set the figure:
- Tank capacity, matched to how many people shower in the house
- Where the fan unit goes, because a long pipe run or a new mount adds labour
- Whether the old tank's plumbing and valves can be reused or need replacing
- The day you book, since a weekend install costs more than a weekday one
1. Ring or send the form. Call (02) 4063 3469 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time. 2. A fixed price first. A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead. 3. The swap itself. The old tank is drained and lifted off, the heat pump and its storage tank are set in place, and the pipework is connected, pressure-tested and commissioned. 4. Covered for a year. Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.

What Customers Say
[The plumber] & his young helper were courteous, well mannered & competent when replacing the solar hot water station pump at my property
When We're Not the Right Call
If the heat pump needs a new circuit or isolator run from the switchboard, that wiring is a licensed electrician's work and sits outside our quote. If you want gas hot water instead, the gas fitting page covers storage and continuous-flow options.
Heat Pump Questions From This Valley
Does a heat pump cope with the cold winter nights in this valley?
Yes. Heat pumps are rated to run through cold snaps, and winter nights here run cooler than on the coast, which a heat pump handles. Where the unit sits matters more than the temperature, so we pick a spot with airflow rather than a closed-in corner.
Can the outdoor unit go on a shaded side of the house?
It can, provided air can move around it. A unit boxed in against a fence in a damp corner loses efficiency and works harder. On the shaded blocks around Kahibah we position the fan unit where it can breathe, even if that means a longer pipe run.
Can the new unit go where the old tank stood?
Where the space allows, yes. The storage tank goes where the old one stood, since the hot and cold pipes already end there, and the fan unit mounts close by with a clear path for air.
Does a heat pump cut the running cost against an old electric storage unit?
Yes. A heat pump draws warmth from the air instead of heating water with a raw element, so the day-to-day running cost sits well below an electric storage tank of the same size. The tank is matched to the household so you are not paying for capacity you never use.
