Why a Heat Pump Suits This Coast
A heat pump draws heat from the outside air with a compressor and a fan, then pushes that warmth into the tank, using far less power than an element would for the same hot water.
No gas needed
It runs on electricity alone, so cottages and units without a gas connection lose nothing by choosing one.
Gentle winters help
The compressor works hardest when the air is coldest, and frost barely registers on this peninsula, so output stays steady year round.
Compact footprint
The tank and the compressor sit together outdoors, which helps on the peninsula's small original allotments.
Space to breathe
The fan needs open airflow and a spot well clear of bedroom windows, so we look at the placement before we quote.
Heat Pump Installs Step by Step
Whether it swaps a tired cylinder or goes where no system has sat before, Redcliffe Hot Water Services runs every heat pump changeover to the same plan:
- 1
Check the spot
We confirm airflow around the fan, distance from bedroom windows and a level base, then mark out the run.
- 2
Drain the old tank
We isolate the water and power, empty the cylinder and cut the pipework back clean.
- 3
Set and connect
We set the compressor and tank on their base and join the inlet, the outlet and the tempering valve, which holds bathroom water at a safe temperature.
- 4
Commission and test
We heat the tank to 60°C, check the tempering valve holds the outlets at 50°C, and hand over the controls before we leave.

What a Heat Pump Costs to Fit
We price the complete job, the unit, the base and the old tank's removal, up front. The main drivers:
Unit size
A tank matched to the people in the house costs less to buy and to run than an oversized one.
Where it sits
A level slab close to existing plumbing is quick; a tight side setback or a balcony job takes longer.
The electrical side
If the switchboard needs work before the compressor can run, we name that in the quote so nothing arrives unpriced.
Old tank removal
Draining and carting away the previous cylinder is quoted in with everything else, never tacked on at the end.
You get a fixed quote for the whole hot water job first, and we only start once you've approved it. Flat-rate pricing means no hidden fees and no extra fee for weekend or after-hours call-outs, and you can fix now, pay later.
Heat Pumps on the Peninsula
The switch is well underway here
Installs recorded across the postcode stood at 1,890 heat pump systems at the last count, so plenty of your neighbours have already made the move off ageing electric tanks.
Salt is the local enemy
Sea air off Moreton Bay settles on condenser coils and fan bearings, so a unit sitting exposed near the foreshore needs a rinse and a check now and then, and we pick units with coatings that handle it.
Smaller households suit smaller units
At the last census the average household here counted two people, so an oversized tank heats water nobody uses and you wear the cost on every bill.
When We're Not the Right Call
If the switchboard needs a fresh circuit before a compressor can run, that wiring goes to a licensed electrician, and we point it out before you approve anything. If the old system has simply run its course, the repair-or-replace call is spelled out on hot water replacement, and a build or relocation belongs on hot water installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3522 5629Do heat pumps cope with salt air near the foreshore?
Redcliffe Hot Water Services specs corrosion-resistant coils and casings for foreshore-side jobs, and we position the unit back from the worst of the salt spray wherever the lot allows it.
How noisy is a heat pump on a tight Redcliffe lot?
A well-placed unit is no louder than a fridge hum, and we keep the fan a decent space from any bedroom, which matters on the tight lots laid out here in the 1880s.
Will a heat pump keep up through a Redcliffe winter?
They hold up well, because frost never settles on this peninsula and the sea keeps winter gentle, so the compressor works no harder in July than it does in January.
Who handles the wiring for a heat pump changeover?
The plumbing and the pipework are our side of the changeover, and any wiring or circuit work the compressor needs is a job for an electrician, which we flag at the quote stage.
What size heat pump suits a Redcliffe household?
Census figures put the average household at two people, so a mid-size tank covers the showers and dishes comfortably, and we size the unit to your actual use at the quote.
