Is a Heat Pump Right for Your House
This system suits a home that already runs an electric storage cylinder and wants it replaced with something cheaper to run. The points that matter:
- A refrigerant cycle moves warmth rather than making it, so the compressor and fan draw far less power than an element working the same tank.
- Storage water still sits at 60°C or hotter against Legionella, so hot water behaves the same at the taps.
- Airflow decides performance. The fan and compressor need open air outside, not a screened alcove or a garage corner.
- A tempering valve caps bathroom water at 50°C on this system just as on any other, so safety at the basin and shower is unchanged.
If the tank itself still has months of life left and only a part has quit, our hot water repairs page covers that cheaper road first.
From Old Tank to Heat Pump
Four steps carry most changeovers. First, the site check, where we look at airflow around the chosen spot, its distance from sleeping rooms, and whether the old cylinder's pad can carry the new unit. Second, sizing, driven by how many showers your household runs in a morning rather than by the size of the block.
Any question beyond the unit's own power connection, such as a fresh circuit, is an electrician's territory under Queensland rules, and we say so plainly at quoting.
- 1
Drain and lift out
The old cylinder is emptied and taken away, cleared from its footing so the space is free.
- 2
Set the unit
The heat pump goes down on a firm, weathering-proof plinth with room for the fan to breathe.
- 3
Connect the plumbing
Licensed plumbers run the inlet and outlet lines and set a new tempering valve where the old one is past it.
- 4
Commission and hand over
The tank fills, taps are run, and we confirm stored water holds 60°C before we leave.

Pricing a Heat Pump Job
Hendra Hot Water Services prices the whole job up front, and the figure moves mainly on four things:
- The tank capacity your household needs, which follows showers per morning.
- Whether the new unit reuses the old cylinder's footing or has to shift position, which changes the labour.
- The condition of nearby supply lines, because corroded runs in older homes sometimes need attention before a clean connection.
- Valves the handover demands, usually a tempering or relief valve.
We price your hot water job up front as one fixed figure, and you decide whether we go ahead. There are no hidden fees with our flat-rate pricing, no surcharge for nights, weekends or public holidays, and the option to fix now, pay later.
Why These Streets Take to Heat Pumps
The switch already happened
Postcode records show 378 heat pump hot water installs across the 4011 area, so the neighbours made this call long before you opened this page.
The blocks give the fan room
Houses went up from the racing-era estates through the early postwar years as detached homes on generous lots, letting a unit sit along the side boundary with clear air rather than in a squeezed corner.
No winter penalty
Weather records here average nothing in the way of frost, and late spring brings the warm humidity the refrigerant cycle loves, so the compressor never fights the season.
When We're Not the Right Call
Where a home needs a new circuit or an upgraded switchboard to run the unit safely, that wiring sits with a licensed electrician, and we will point that out before we price anything. For a system at end of life that you would rather replace with the same type, our hot water replacement page runs that decision, and a fresh position or renovation build belongs on new installations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 1856Does a storm season's muggy air slow a heat pump in Hendra?
Yes, a heat pump draws warmth from the air even through muggy summer months and mild winters, so the subtropical climate keeps a unit working steadily in Hendra all year round.
Does the Energex supply at my place need checking first?
Most local supply runs on the Energex network, and we check how your switchboard and connections are arranged before quoting, so there are no wiring surprises on install day at your place.
Will a compressor and fan disturb sleep in these close-set streets?
A compressor and fan make a low hum rather than a roar, so we plan the spot with clear airflow and well away from sleeping rooms, which the generous blocks here usually permit.
Is the average Hendra household the right size for a heat pump?
The average Hendra household counted 2.7 people at the last census, so we size the tank to how many showers actually run each morning rather than to any suburb-wide figure.
Do galvanised pipes complicate a heat pump changeover at older Hendra homes?
Houses from the prewar and early postwar build can still carry galvanised supply pipe, so we test tap pressure first and flag any corroded runs before the quote is final.
