Heat Pump Installation Vermont South, done properly.
Nobody wakes up wanting a heat pump. You wake up with a dead tank and a decision to make. Here's the case for making it this one, which brands we'd fit in our own houses and why, and what the job actually looks like — with the rebate already in the number.
VEU rebate applied at quote
Up to $2,700 for a Victorian owner-occupier at current VEEC prices ($60–$75). We handle the paperwork. You don't front the cash then chase it back six months later.
Three brands, three different jobs
iStore when the rebate is what decides it. Reclaim ECO R290 or Thermann Integrated when it all has to fit in one shell with nothing outside. Reclaim CO₂ Split when you are staying in the house and want a stainless tank that outlasts the compressor.
Same tank platform, honest pricing
Reclaim ECO R290 AIO and Thermann Integrated are the same tank + heat-pump platform, Reclaim brand, Thermann brand, identical guts. Pick on brand preference or Reece supply, not spec.
COP holds on a cold morning (Reclaim CO₂)
Reclaim's CO₂ split still makes about 4.5 COP at –10 °C. That is the difference in Emerald, Gembrook and Cockatoo, where an R290 unit spends July leaning on the element it was bought to replace.
Licensed plumbing + tempering valve
Full drainage rework, tempering valve to AS/NZS 3500, isolation valves + electrical connection on a dedicated circuit, done by our licensed plumber, not a sub-contractor.
Old tank taken away same visit
Gas storage, electric storage or old heat pump, off the pad, out the gate and to an ARC-approved recycler on install day. No waiting for hard rubbish.
Fixed price within 2 hours.

How much is the VEU rebate right now?
Up to $2,700 for a Victorian owner-occupier at current VEEC prices ($60–$75 per certificate). We calculate your actual rebate at the quote based on your address, existing system, and household size.
How much will I save on my energy bill?
A gas-storage → heat pump swap typically saves $400–$900 a year. Electric storage → heat pump saves $700–$1,400. Payback after the VEU rebate is usually under 2 years.
Does a heat pump work in cold Melbourne mornings?
R290 (propane) units drop noticeably below 0 °C. CO₂ heat pumps (Reclaim) hold full capacity down to −10 °C, worth specifying for hills postcodes like Emerald, Gembrook or Cockatoo.
Is it noisy? Where do you put it?
37–48 dBA at 1 m depending on model, Reclaim CO₂ is the quietest at 37 dBA (safe next to a bedroom wall). Ideally sited on the shady side of the house away from bedrooms.
What a hot water job in Vermont South usually looks like
Hot water in Vermont South is mostly decided by when the street was built, because whatever went in at handover is what reaches end of life together, one estate at a time.
Vermont South sits at the outer edge of what we cover, 45 to 62 minutes from the Pakenham workshop. That makes it a booked-install suburb for us rather than a same-day one, and it is worth knowing which of those you actually need before you ring anybody.
Seventies and eighties brick veneer on generous, well-kept blocks, one of the more consistent pockets in the east, with newer townhouse development around the tram terminus. What we get asked for out this way is mostly Mitsubishi Electric ducted retrofits and zoning upgrades, plus heat pump hot water replacing original storage tanks.
The established streets around Bellbird Dell and Livingstone Road, the pockets backing onto the Dandenong Creek trail, and the newer developments near the tram terminus.
That matters for a heat pump more than for anything else we fit, because the deciding question is where the outdoor unit goes and how far it is from the tank position. On a seventies and eighties brick veneer on generous the answer is usually obvious on the site visit and occasionally it rules a split system out entirely, in which case an all-in-one goes where the old tank stood.
Vermont South homes are the age where the original heating and hot water have both reached the end together, and where a homeowner would rather spend properly once than cheaply twice. That is the work we like and it is worth the drive for. We book it as planned work, quote after a site visit, and put the rebate in the number rather than in a promise.
What we see go wrong in Vermont South
- The original ducted systems here are largely single-zone, so the house conditions as one block and the bedrooms are never right
- Well-kept eighties homes very often still have their first hot water replacement rather than their second, which puts them well past the line
- Established gardens and mature trees mean condenser positions are more constrained than the block size suggests
- Townhouses around the tram terminus have body corporate rules that decide the system type before anything technical does
