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.

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 assess household demand, the existing service, switchboard capacity, available space, pipe runs and practical unit positions before recommending a heat pump. The quote covers the agreed electrical work, installation, commissioning and rebate paperwork. For system types, sizing, efficiency and changeover details, see the full detail on hot water heat pumps.
Upwey is open at roughly 974 people per square kilometre, where larger homes mean longer pipe runs and more standing heat loss. Tank position genuinely affects your running cost here. Because Upwey sits about 220 metres up, outages happen. A tank holds its heat for a day or more, which is a quiet advantage of storage over instantaneous at this elevation.
At roughly 33 kilometres out, Upwey has larger households and higher hot water demand, which pushes tank sizing up a step. Upwey sits inside Yarra Ranges. Council approval is not part of this job.
We treat Upwey, Belgrave Heights and Ferntree Gully as one working area rather than three separate postcodes. There were 6818 people living in Upwey at the 2021 census, spread over around 7 square kilometres in Yarra Ranges, postcode 3158.
Our working patch either side of Upwey takes in Belgrave Heights, Ferntree Gully, Ferny Creek and Lysterfield, which is why availability here is usually good. At roughly 6 kilometres south-east of Boronia, Upwey is inside the area we cover every week rather than on its edge.

No. The run from Boronia to Upwey is about 6 kilometres south-east, which is well inside our regular patch, so there is nothing added for travel.
Everything immediately around Upwey, including Belgrave Heights, Ferntree Gully, Ferny Creek and Lysterfield. We treat the group as one working area rather than separate bookings.
Upwey falls under Yarra Ranges, postcode 3158. No permit is needed for standard work of this kind.
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.
Tell us about your current hot water service and household demand. We’ll assess capacity, placement and connection requirements, then provide a clear heat pump quote. Book an assessment or call our Boronia crew to discuss the changeover.
