Why trade a cylinder for a heat pump?
How the unit works. A heat pump works like a fridge run backwards. A fan draws outdoor air across a coil, the heat in that air is moved into the water, and the tank stores it for the taps.
That suits this coast. Mild, humid air carries plenty of heat even in winter, so the compressor has warmth to work with on days an old element would be drawing hard from the grid.
What changes for the household:
- Lower running costs than an old electric storage unit
- No gas supply needed, so it suits blocks without a gas main
- The same taps and pipework inside, with no bathroom work
- An outdoor unit that sits on a small slab or pad
If gas already reaches your meter, a continuous-flow gas unit is worth pricing alongside it, and the gas fitting side of the business connects that option too.
What feeds the figure on a heat pump?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
On a heat pump, the unit and where it sits drive most of the number:
- The unit's size and brand tier, since a bigger household needs a bigger tank
- The spot the unit lands on, and how far pipe has to run to reach it
- Any electrical work the unit calls for, which an electrician quotes separately
- A changeover booked for a night or weekend, which runs at the after-hours rate
The plumber measures all of that on site before naming a figure.

Where the swap suits the local housing
One build wave, one upgrade wave

When we're not the right call
A heat pump that needs its own new circuit at the switchboard has an electrical side, and that goes to a licensed electrician before the plumbing is finished. A storm-damaged roof dripping onto the unit is a roofer's repair. The water side is ours.

Heat Pump Questions From Jewells Homes
Is a heat pump a good fit for an older Jewells home?
The homes here went up from the 1970s on, so an original or second cylinder is due for retirement anyway. A heat pump can reuse the existing hot and cold pipework inside, and the plumber checks on the visit whether the switchboard needs a dedicated circuit.
Does the salt air off Nine Mile Beach shorten a heat pump's life?
Salt is hard on any metal left outdoors, and a heat pump's fan and coil live outside full time. We mount the unit clear of the ground, with airflow on the more sheltered side of the house where possible, and a yearly service keeps the coil and casing ahead of the corrosion.
Will we have hot water while the swap happens?
Yes. A temporary tank supplies the showers and taps while the heat pump is on order or being fitted, so the household is not left with cold water. It comes out once the new unit is connected, tested and running hot.
Is the heat pump install covered by your warranty?
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we installed is not right within that year, ring the same number and we come back and sort it.
