Heat Pump Hot Water Systems in the Southern Highlands
Heat pump hot water draws warmth from the outside air to heat your water, so it runs on a fraction of the electricity a standard electric tank uses. We supply Daikin, Reclaim Energy, Stiebel Eltron, Apricus, Rinnai and iStore heat pump hot water systems to homes in Bowral, Mittagong, Moss Vale, Berrima and across the Highlands.
Made for Highland mornings
Modern heat pump hot water systems keep working below zero. We choose models rated for cold climates, not just coastal ones.
Lower bills, same hot showers
A heat pump moves heat rather than making it, which is why running costs drop so sharply compared with an electric element.
How a heat pump hot water system works
A small fan draws in outside air and a refrigerant circuit pulls the heat out of it, then passes that heat into the water in the tank. Even a frosty Bowral morning holds enough warmth for it to work. Because the electricity only runs the fan and compressor, the system delivers several units of heat for every unit of power it uses.

Why Highland homes are switching to heat pump hot water
Three things that matter most when you compare a heat pump hot water system with what you have now.
Running costs
Heat pump hot water typically uses up to around 70% less electricity than a conventional electric tank. On a Highland winter power bill, that is a difference you notice.
Cold-climate performance
Not every heat pump suits the Highlands. We recommend models with cold-climate ratings and frost protection, so your hot water does not fall away on a minus three morning in Moss Vale.
Quiet and out of the way
The unit is about as loud as a modern air conditioner outdoor unit. We look at where it can sit so airflow, noise and drainage all work for your home and your neighbours.
Heat pump hot water from a local team that knows the climate
We have been looking after Southern Highlands homes from Queen Street, Mittagong since 1985. Heat pump hot water has become the system we recommend most often for households wanting to move off gas or cut an electric hot water bill, and the Highland climate is exactly where brand and model choice matters most.
Government incentives may apply to heat pump hot water in NSW, so ask us what your home may be eligible for. When you are ready, the same local team handles hot water system installation across the Highlands.

The questions we hear most from Highland homeowners considering a heat pump hot water system.
Still have questions?
We're happy to talk it through, with no pressure.
Does heat pump hot water work in a Southern Highlands winter?
Yes. Cold-climate models keep producing hot water well below zero, and the Highlands rarely drops past minus five. Choosing a model rated for cold climates, rather than one built for Queensland, is the part that matters, and that is what we do for every quote.
Which heat pump hot water brands do you supply?
Daikin, Reclaim Energy, Stiebel Eltron, Apricus, Rinnai and iStore. Each has its strengths, from Reclaim Energy's split CO2 design in the cold to compact all-in-one units, and we will recommend the one that suits your home.
What size heat pump hot water tank do I need?
Most Highland households of three or four people sit around a 250 to 300 litre tank. Smaller households can go lower, and a home with a big bath or several teenagers may need more. We size to how you use hot water, not just the number of bedrooms.
How much does a heat pump hot water system cost?
It depends on the brand, tank size and what is already at your home. Government incentives may apply and can change the number considerably, so we quote after looking at your setup rather than guessing. Every quote is itemised.
Are there government incentives for heat pump hot water in NSW?
Incentives may apply for eligible NSW households upgrading to a heat pump hot water system. Eligibility and amounts change, so ask us and we will walk you through what applies to your home at the time.
