Heat Pump Installation Wantirna 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 Wantirna South usually looks like
Hot water in Wantirna 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.
Wantirna South sits at the outer edge of what we cover, 42 to 58 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 through nineties brick veneer family homes on solid blocks, most built with ducted heating from new, with newer townhouse clusters filling the gaps closer to Knox. What we get asked for out this way is mostly gas ducted heater replacements and reverse-cycle changeovers, plus iStore and Thermann heat pump swaps on original storage tanks.
The established streets around Knox Gardens and Lewis Park, the family-home pockets running off Stud Road, and the townhouse infill closer to Westfield Knox.
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 through nineties brick veneer family homes on solid blocks 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.
Wantirna South is the closest of the eastern suburbs to us and the easiest run, straight up EastLink. It is still a booked-install suburb rather than an emergency one, but the drive is under an hour either side of peak. The jobs we get out here are mostly the same as Rowville next door: gas ducted at the end of its life and a decision about whether the replacement should be gas at all.
What we see go wrong in Wantirna South
- Ducted heaters installed with the house in the eighties and nineties are now at or past design life, and the honest question is whether to replace like for like or move to reverse-cycle
- Original hot water on the older streets is frequently untouched, and an old tank is the largest single rebate available
- Newer townhouse clusters have no roof space to speak of, so ducted is often out and a multi-head split is the real option
- Single-zone ducted in a nineties double-storey never gets on top of the upstairs bedrooms. Zoning fixes most of them
