Why a Heat Pump Suits Taigum
A heat pump works like an air conditioner in reverse: a fan draws in outside air, a refrigerant cycle concentrates the warmth, and a compressor delivers it to the tank. That one shift changes both what it costs to run and where the unit can sit.
Cheap warmth, season after season
Moving heat that already exists takes far less power than creating it with an element, and warm local air keeps that advantage alive all year.
No gas connection required
If the house has never had gas, a heat pump sidesteps the question entirely and runs off the existing electricity supply.
A storage tank, so hot water is banked
The tank keeps water at 60°C and a tempering valve holds tap water at 50°C, the same rules every storage system follows.
Rebate guidance with the quote
We will talk you through the rebate options for heat pump systems when we price the job, so you know what applies to your setup.
If the current system is simply worn out, hot water replacement walks through the repair-or-replace decision, while a fresh build or renovation belongs on the hot water installation page.
Taigum Same Day Hot Water fits the major heat pump brands, including Rheem, Rinnai and Bosch models.
How We Fit a Heat Pump
The job runs in four stages, each explained in plain terms before it happens:
- 1
Check the spot
We look at where the old tank sits, measure clearance for the fan, and keep the unit clear of bedroom windows so the compressor's hum stays out of sleeping hours.
- 2
One figure to approve
You receive a single fixed price covering the unit, the swap and the old system's removal, and nothing starts until you agree to it.
- 3
Swap the system
Water off, old tank drained and out, new unit set on its base or brackets, then the water lines, relief drain and tempering valve are connected.
- 4
Power and testing
The electrical hookup follows, and if the switchboard falls short, that wiring is an electrician's job rather than ours. We run a full heating cycle before we leave.

What Moves the Price of a Heat Pump
The main cost drivers on a heat pump job are:
Unit capacity
A bigger household draws more hot water, so the tank size climbs with it.
Where it sits
Ground pad versus wall brackets, distance from the existing plumbing, and how tight the access is.
Switchboard condition
If the household supply needs upgrading first, that job shows as its own line through your electrician.
What comes out
Swapping a tired electric tank is simpler than converting from gas, because the pipework and valves differ.
We price your hot water job up front as one fixed figure, and you decide whether we go ahead. There are no hidden fees with our flat-rate pricing, no surcharge for nights, weekends or public holidays, and the option to fix now, pay later.
Heat Pump Hot Water on This Ground
The postcode numbers back it up
At the last data snapshot, 484 heat pump installs were recorded across the postcode, sitting alongside 1,086 solar hot water units, so this technology is no novelty in these streets.
Storm season is the only wrinkle
Thunderstorms roll through from November to March, and a unit mounted in the open cops the weather, so we favour spots with some shelter that still leave the fan free to breathe.
Tight lots need a plan
With townhouses holding much of the local housing stock, the fan side needs clear air rather than a fence pressed against it, and that check happens before any figure is quoted.
When we're not the right call: if the switchboard wants a new dedicated circuit before the unit connects, that wiring sits with an electrician, and we say so plainly at the quote stage so nothing surprises you later.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3524 7164Do heat pumps still heat well through a Taigum winter?
They do, because the local winter is mild and dry with no frost in an average year, so the compressor keeps drawing warmth from the air right through the cooler months.
Will a heat pump squeeze into a tight courtyard?
Usually, because the tank and fan unit need less floor space than a cylinder, and Taigum Same Day Hot Water measures airflow clearance and side access in person before committing to a final position.
Does an Energex connection change anything for a heat pump here?
Only in a good way, because these units run on ordinary household power through Energex's network, and Taigum Same Day Hot Water looks at the switchboard during the site visit rather than guessing from a photo.
Can a heat pump go on low ground near Cabbage Tree Creek?
Yes, provided the base is planned properly, since council's flood overlay follows the creek, and Taigum Same Day Hot Water mounts the unit up high with electrical parts kept well clear of pooled water.
What happens to the old tank when a heat pump replaces it?
It comes out with us, because the quote covers pulling the old unit, taking it away and leaving the spot ready, so you are not left with a dead cylinder in the yard.
