Heat Pump Installation Wheelers Hill, 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.

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 Wheelers Hill usually looks like
Hot water in Wheelers Hill 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.
Wheelers Hill 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 and eighties brick homes on large elevated blocks, a lot of them substantial two-storey builds with long internal runs and multiple living areas. What we get asked for out this way is mostly zoned ducted retrofits and multi-head splits for houses a single system has never covered properly, plus Reclaim CO₂ split heat pumps where the tank and outdoor unit sit apart.
The elevated streets running off Jells Road and Waverley Road, the pockets backing onto Jells Park, and the larger blocks along the ridge toward Ferntree Gully Road.
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 homes on large elevated 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.
The houses up here are big, and big houses are where zoning stops being a nice extra and starts being the whole job. A system sized for the floor area but run as one zone will cost a fortune and still get rooms wrong. Working that out properly takes a walk through the house, which is a booked visit, which is what we do out this way. It is also the closest eastern suburb to us after Wantirna South.
What we see go wrong in Wheelers Hill
- Large two-storey homes on one zone are the most common complaint here, and adding zoning is usually cheaper than people expect
- Elevated blocks mean long refrigerant and water runs, so the design matters more than the badge on the box
- Original ducted heaters in eighties homes are past design life and go on the carbon monoxide test list at every service
- Mature gardens and established trees restrict where a condenser can go and how well it can breathe once it is there
