How Do You Know It's Struggling?
Watch for these signs rather than waiting for a cold shower:
- Water that runs lukewarm even when the unit has had hours to recover
- The fan staying silent, or running constantly without heating the tank
- Fault codes or flashing indicator lights on the controller
- Reheat times creeping out, so the second shower of the morning goes cold
- Water pooling under or around the unit, which can point at the plumbing side rather than the heat pump itself
Any one of these earns a look. Caught early, several of them are affordable fixes.

What Feeds the Quote on a Heat Pump?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
What sits behind the figure on a heat pump job:
- The size of the unit the household needs, based on how many people live there and when they shower
- Where the unit sits, since a tight side path or a sloping block below the house makes the handling slower
- Whether the old tempering valve and pipe connections are fit to keep
- Any electrical work the install needs, which we name honestly because it is a licensed electrician's side of the job, not ours
The number you approve is the number you pay.

When We're Not the Right Call
A heat pump is an electrical appliance at heart. If the compressor, its circuit or the control board has failed electrically, an electrician is the trade to book for that part. Everything on the water side, from the tank plumbing to the tempering valve, is ours.
Heat Pump Questions We Hear in Eleebana
Does a heat pump cost less to run than electric storage in Eleebana homes?
On running costs, yes in most homes. A heat pump pulls heat from the outside air instead of running an element flat out, so its power use is well below a storage tank of the same size. The up-front figure is higher, and the payback depends on how much hot water the household actually uses.
Can you repair a heat pump unit, or does a failing one always get replaced?
Plenty of faults are fixable: valves, sensors, controllers and plumbing-side leaks are all repair work. A compressor failure on a unit past its second decade usually tips the maths toward replacement, and we lay both figures side by side before you choose.
Does the salt air near the lake shorten a heat pump's life in Eleebana?
It can. On a block by the water, the breeze carries salt onto the unit's casing and outside fittings, so it wears faster than the same model inland. Siting the unit out of the worst of the weather and keeping fittings maintained helps stretch that life out.
Do you leave us with hot water while a new heat pump is on order?
Yes. If the replacement unit has a wait on it, we can put in a temporary tank so the showers and the washing machine keep working until the swap day. It comes with the install rather than as an extra we hold back.
