Is a Heat Pump the Right Fit
A heat pump suits plenty of peninsula homes, and it has limits worth knowing before you commit.
How it works
A fan and compressor pull warmth from the outdoor air and pass it into the tank through a refrigerant loop, so the electricity moves heat rather than making it.
Running costs
Because the warmth comes free from the air, the unit uses far less power than an element doing the same job.
Space and siting
The unit wants steady airflow around it and a position where the compressor's hum will not share a wall with a bedroom, which matters on tight inner-city lots.
Water temperature
Storage water stays at 60°C to keep Legionella from growing, and a tempering valve caps the bathroom supply at 50°C.
A heat pump swap is a hot water replacement when an old tank comes out, or part of a fresh hot water installation on a renovation or new build.
How a Heat Pump Job Runs
Here is how New Farm Hot Water Services runs one.
- 1
Size and site it
We match tank capacity to your household and pick an outdoor position with airflow, service clearance and distance from sleeping rooms.
- 2
Swap the hardware
Water and power are isolated, the old tank comes out, and the new unit goes onto its plinth or brackets ready for connection.
- 3
Connect and fill
The cold inlet, hot outlet and relief drain are joined up, then the tank fills and the compressor runs its first full heating cycle.
- 4
Check and hand over
We confirm storage sits at 60°C, check the tempering valve delivers 50°C to the bathrooms, and open every hot tap with you watching.

$0 call-out fees, available 24/7, and same-day where we can.
What Drives the Price
No two heat pump jobs price the same. The main movers are:
Tank capacity
Sized to the number of people actually showering, not to the old unit's badge.
Access and position
A ground-level pad is simple; a balcony carry up a narrow walk-up stairwell is not.
The electrical side
If the existing supply arrangement carries over, the job stays lean; a circuit upgrade brings an electrician into it.
Valves and fittings
Tempering and relief valves renewed with the unit save a second visit later.
Every hot water job is quoted as a fixed price before any work starts, and nothing goes ahead until you say yes. We keep to flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees and no surcharge for nights, weekends or public holidays. Fix now, pay later is available as well.
Heat Pumps on the Peninsula
The postcode has already taken them up
The count for heat pump hot water across this postcode stands at 170 installs, so the technology is no experiment in these streets.
Small households keep units compact
Only 12.1 per cent of local dwellings run to four bedrooms, so most heat pumps quoted here sit in the small to mid capacity range rather than the big-family end.
No frost to fight
This peninsula never sees frost, so the compressor keeps its efficiency through every month of the year, an advantage installations further south cannot claim.
Mind the damp corners
Storms between November and March leave shaded courtyards soggy, so a siting spot with airflow and some sun beats a walled, dank corner every time.
We weigh it all for you
New Farm Hot Water Services checks capacity, siting and body corporate rules during the quote, so nothing surprises you on install day.
When we're not the right call
The dedicated circuit some heat pump models want is an electrician's work, so we book our half of the install around their visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 7118Do heat pumps handle a New Farm summer?
They do, because a heat pump draws its warmth from warm air, and a peninsula summer gives the compressor plenty to work with right through the wet months.
Where can the outdoor unit sit on a New Farm unit block?
On a balcony, courtyard or side passage with open airflow around the fan, once we have confirmed what the body corporate allows on your particular building.
Will the compressor bother the neighbours in a New Farm walk-up?
Not if it is sited well, so we keep the fan off shared walls and away from sleeping rooms, which matters on closely built blocks like these.
Does Energex need to be involved when a heat pump replaces an electric tank?
Usually not, because the new unit normally runs on the existing supply arrangement, though a circuit upgrade or metering change would bring Energex in, and we flag that early.
Are rebates available for heat pump systems?
Schemes change and eligibility differs, so we will walk you through what is on offer for heat pump systems at the moment rather than promise anything.
