A hot water heat pump uses roughly a third of the electricity of an old resistive element and replaces a gas storage unit entirely. We size the tank to the household, place the unit where noise and airflow work, and handle the rebate and the old unit's removal. In Lilydale that work is done by our own crew out of Boronia, certified and quoted before we start.

Lilydale is part of our home patch — we're through Maroondah most weeks, so hot water heat pump installation here doesn't come with a travel premium or a long wait. Placement is what separates a good heat pump install from a complaint. These units move air and make a low hum, so putting one under a bedroom window to save ten metres of pipe is a decision you'll regret every night in winter.
Because we're already working across Mooroolbark, Croydon South and Vermont South, a Lilydale job usually slots into a run we're doing anyway. That keeps the call-out honest and means we can come back if something needs a second look.
Household demand, airflow, noise, drainage and how far it sits from the bathrooms.
Board capacity and a dedicated circuit, plus tariff options if you're on controlled load.
Old unit removed, new unit set, plumbed, wired and commissioned.
Federal and Victorian incentives claimed as part of the job, not left to you.
Every hot water heat pump installation booking in Lilydale runs off the same checklist, whether it's a 1960s brick veneer or a new build. Here's exactly what's covered in the price we quote you.
A-Grade licensed, REC 33326, fully insured and CEC accredited for solar design and installation. Installed and certified by licensed electricians, with the rebate paperwork lodged on your behalf.
The part people underestimate with hot water heat pump installation is the prep. Household demand, airflow, noise, drainage and how far it sits from the bathrooms. We do that before anyone quotes a number, because a price written without looking at the board is a price that changes halfway through the job.
Tank size should follow shower habits, not house size. A four-person household with teenagers behaves nothing like two adults, and an undersized tank on a cold morning is the fastest way to hate an otherwise good appliance.
“Quoted before we start, certified when we finish.”
This part of the east has a lot of overhead supply and mature liquidambars and gums near the lines, so wind events cause both outages and nuisance tripping. Older services also show voltage rise mid-afternoon as more solar goes on around them, which is the usual culprit when an inverter drops out on a clear day. It's fixable, but it needs measuring rather than guessing.
Lilydale sits on the same run as Mooroolbark, Croydon South, Vermont South — if we're at one, we're usually minutes from the others.
Anyone can say they're licensed. Here's what that actually means when we're on your job — and the paperwork you'll hold at the end of it.
You see the number, the inclusions and the exclusions in writing. If the scope changes on site, we stop and ask — we don't invoice a surprise.
No labour hire, no subcontractors. The electrician who quotes your job is the one standing in your switchboard, on the same REC (33326).
Every job finishes with a Certificate of Electrical Safety, tested circuits, a labelled board and photos of anything hidden behind a wall.
Workmanship guaranteed and manufacturer warranties registered in your name. If something plays up, you ring us — not a call centre in another state.
Nobody can quote hot water heat pump installation honestly without seeing the job. What we can do is show you exactly what moves the number, so the price you're given in Lilydale makes sense before you agree to it. Most swaps are a same-day job. Relocating the unit or running a new circuit can add a few hours.
Plenty of Lilydale homes still run a board that predates RCDs. If yours does, it either needs upgrading first or it needs allowing for in the quote — we tell you which on the day, not after.
Roof pitch, subfloor clearance and how far the run is from the board move the labour more than the fittings do. We measure it before pricing, so the number holds.
Priced per unit and site — tank size, how far the new unit sits from the old location, and whether a new circuit is needed. Rebates are deducted from the quote up front.
Installed and certified by licensed electricians, with the rebate paperwork lodged on your behalf. Where a rebate applies we handle the forms and the compliance evidence — you don't chase it.

Excellent service! The team arrived on time and completed the installation efficiently and up to scratch. Everything was done neatly, with great attention to detail. Ryan and Jack are top blokes and easy to deal with. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic service and work done! The boys were super accommodating, answered any questions I had without a problem, left everything neat and tidy and overall did an amazing job installing our battery and inverter. Cannot recommend enough.

Zak and Ryan did a amazing job. Even with the obstacles of a double story home with a internal switch board they persevered in the heat and got the job done. Thanks guys we realy appreciate your work and polite attitude.

Ryan and Jack did a great job doing the electrical work on my new 4 head split system. They got the job done in no time, and my split systems were up and running. Once connected, Ryan made sure all 4 heads were working. Thanks guys, great job!
James "Mitchi" Mitch · Split system
The experience is very nice with them. Specially Roy and Jack did their best. We are so much happy about their service. They heard every single word of us and suggest us which is good and why. Highly recommend

If there's more than one thing on the list, tell us when you book. Doing it in the one Lilydale visit means one set-up, one clean-up and one certificate — and it's almost always cheaper than having us back a second time.
Priced per unit and site — tank size, how far the new unit sits from the old location, and whether a new circuit is needed. Rebates are deducted from the quote up front. There's no travel premium to Lilydale — it's on our regular run from the Boronia workshop.
Most swaps are a same-day job. Relocating the unit or running a new circuit can add a few hours.
Yes — we're A-Grade licensed electricians and a Registered Electrical Contractor (REC 33326), fully insured and CEC-accredited for solar design and installation. Installed and certified by licensed electricians, with the rebate paperwork lodged on your behalf.
They run at roughly the level of a fridge compressor, but the sound carries outdoors at night. Siting away from bedroom windows and neighbouring boundaries solves it, which is why we walk the site before quoting.
We work right across Maroondah — including Mooroolbark, Croydon South and Vermont South — plus the wider east and south-east, from Boronia to Berwick and Balwyn to Warrandyte.
Luke · Founder, A-Grade electrician
Most of what's wrong with this industry comes down to one thing: the person selling isn't the person installing.
I'm a licensed A-Grade electrician, and so is everyone who'll be on your roof or in your switchboard. When we quote your home, we're quoting work we'll do ourselves — which is why we'll happily talk you out of gear you don't need.
If you're thinking about getting off gas, call us. Worst case, you'll hang up knowing more than you did.
