Matt solved a MAJOR problem when he fixed our burst water in line. The original inbound water pipe was under a pattern stamped concrete driveway (big mistake). No problem for Matt – he ran a new connection from the meter into the house avoiding the massive cost that would otherwise have been the case by mending the original pipe. Always on time, responsive and easy to deal with. Also, not expensive at all. Great plumbing service.

Had Matt turn up for a job yesterday and once again provided quality service at an affordable price. Myself and extended family have been using GOATS plumbing for many years and couldn’t be happier with Matt’s knowledge and standard of work.

I had Goats Plumbing take care of the re-plumbing for water and gas in my small unit renovation — covering the kitchen, laundry, and bathroom — and Matt was fantastic to work with. The quote was quick and fair, the work was completed on time and at a great price, and the quality was excellent. Super easy to communicate with and really collaborative throughout the project. I’d happily recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, skilled plumbing work.Definitely recommend

We are so happy with the work Matt did for our bathroom. He is super easy to work with, pays attention to detail and shared ideas on how to make it exactly what we wanted. Nothing was too difficult for him, such a stand-up guy! Would highly recommend – thanks Matt.

Heat Pump Hot Water Systems in Greensborough

Heat pump hot water systems are one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat water available to Australian homeowners. Rather than using electricity directly to generate heat, a heat pump extracts heat from the surrounding air and uses it to heat your water, working on the same principle as a refrigerator in reverse. The result is hot water that costs significantly less to produce than with a conventional electric storage system.

Goats Plumbing supplies and installs heat pump hot water systems for homes across Greensborough and surrounding areas. With government rebates currently available that can substantially reduce the upfront cost, now is a great time to make the switch.

  • All major heat pump brands including Reclaim, Sanden, Rheem, Dux, Chromagen, and more
  • Supply and install packages
  • Replacement of existing electric or gas hot water systems
  • Government rebate assistance

How Much Can a Heat Pump Save You?

The energy savings from a heat pump hot water system compared to a conventional electric storage system are substantial. A heat pump typically uses 60 to 75% less electricity to produce the same amount of hot water. In practical terms, for a household spending $600 to $800 per year on hot water with a conventional electric system, switching to a heat pump could reduce that to $150 to $250.

The payback period depends on the cost of the system after rebates and your current hot water running costs. With government rebates currently available under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, the upfront cost is significantly reduced and payback periods of 2 to 5 years are achievable for many households.

Government Rebates for Heat Pump Hot Water

Victorian homeowners can access rebates for heat pump hot water system installation through the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program. Goats Plumbing helps clients navigate the rebate process:

  • Rebates are available for replacing existing electric resistance hot water systems with a heat pump
  • The rebate amount depends on the size of the system being replaced and the new heat pump being installed
  • Additional rebates may be available under the federal Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES)
  • Goats Plumbing can advise on current rebate availability and eligibility when you enquire

Rebate programs change over time, so contact us for the most current information on what is available in Greensborough.

Is a Heat Pump Hot Water System Right for Your Home?

Heat pump hot water systems work best in certain conditions. Goats Plumbing will assess your property and situation honestly before recommending a heat pump:

  • Best suited to – Homes replacing an existing electric storage system, properties with good outdoor space for the unit, areas with mild to warm average temperatures (Melbourne is well suited).
  • Installation considerations – The heat pump unit needs to be located outdoors or in a well-ventilated space. It produces some noise when operating, so placement away from bedrooms is preferred.
  • Works well with solar – Pairing a heat pump hot water system with rooftop solar and programming it to run during daylight hours maximises the use of solar generation and further reduces running costs.

FAQs

COMMON QUESTIONS

A heat pump extracts heat from the surrounding air and uses it to heat water in a storage tank. It works on the same principle as a reverse-cycle air conditioner, using refrigerant to transfer heat energy rather than generating heat directly. This makes it 3 to 4 times more efficient than a conventional electric element.
Yes. Modern heat pump systems work efficiently in temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius, making them well suited to Melbourne’s climate. They become slightly less efficient in very cold weather but remain far more efficient than a conventional electric system.
The heat pump unit needs to be installed outdoors or in a well-ventilated space such as a garage. The unit is typically similar in size to a standard air conditioner outdoor unit. The storage tank is a similar size to a conventional electric storage tank.
Heat pump systems do produce some noise when operating, similar to a reverse-cycle air conditioner outdoor unit. For this reason, placement away from bedroom windows is recommended. Modern units have become progressively quieter over recent years.
Yes. Victorian homeowners replacing an existing electric storage system with a heat pump are typically eligible for rebates under the Victorian Energy Upgrades program. Goats Plumbing can advise on current rebate availability and eligibility when you contact us.
