Hot Water Heat Pumps in Lilydale

Lilydale sits near 594 people per square kilometre. Long runs from the tank to the house are common, and insulating them is cheaper than upsizing the unit. Lilydale is around 115 metres. Cool mornings are the operating condition that matters, and we size with them in mind.

Lilydale sits about 34 kilometres out in Yarra Ranges. Three-phase supply is more common here and it widens the options. Being part of Yarra Ranges, Lilydale follows the standard position: no permit, but the installation has to meet the plumbing and wiring rules and be certified.

Being next to Chirnside Park and Coldstream means Lilydale is almost never a standalone trip for our crew. The 2021 census recorded 17348 people in Lilydale, an area of roughly 29.2 square kilometres within Yarra Ranges, postcode 3140.

Background that affects the changeover: It was rebuilt in November 2021 as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project, with the railway line being raised above Maroondah Highway. Older stock means older pipework and more to check. Lilydale sits within a group of suburbs we are in constantly: Chirnside Park, Coldstream, Gruyere and Montrose.

We work out of Boronia, about 12.9 kilometres north-east from Lilydale. No travel charge, no minimum call-out to justify the drive. Lilydale is served by Lilydale railway station. Streets nearest the line are generally the ones with the oldest switchboards.

Also worth knowing about the area: Lilydale has segregated bicycle facilities including the start of the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail which follows the course of the Lilydale-Warburton railway line which was built in 1901 but closed in 1964.
