Quoted Mon, installed Fri

Took the old gas Rinnai out, dropped in a Reclaim heat pump, sorted the VEU rebate so I paid less than $400 out of pocket. Bloke on the phone is the bloke on the tools — refreshing.

Actually got up in the roof

Had three quotes for a ducted system. These guys were the only ones who actually crawled into the roof. Middle of the pack on price but installed cleaner than the others would have.

Emergency sorted Sunday

Hot water died on a Sunday with three kids in the house. Answered the phone, had a temp loaner running by lunch, new iStore in on Tuesday. That's service.

No surprises on the invoice

Quote number matched the invoice exactly. No 'we hit unexpected wiring' story at the end. Nice change.

Explained everything

Walked me through the Milieu tablet, showed the wife how to use it, showed us the compliance cert. Ten minutes of teaching that other installers just skip.

Family business, feels it

Answered the phone myself, quoted the job, showed up to install the job. That trail of trust doesn't exist with most of the bigger mobs anymore.

Rebate handled — didn't lift a finger

The VEU paperwork looked scary online. They filled it all in, I signed once at the quote and once on the day. Rebate was already in the price. Painless.

Cleaned up like nothing happened

Full ducted retrofit over two days. When they left the roof cavity was tidier than they found it and the driveway had been swept. Small thing but it matters.

Follow-up call was a surprise

A week after install they rang to check the heat pump was running quiet and the app was set up. First tradie who's ever followed up after payment cleared.

Split install in half a day

Bedroom Mitsubishi went in before lunch. Neat pipework, brackets straight, temp checked before they left. Would use again for the lounge.

Talked me OUT of a big spend

I was ready to spend on a 22kW ducted system, they measured the house and said 14 would do it. Saved me $4k and it still cools like a dream.

Best price on the Reclaim

Rang three installers. These guys came in $600 cheaper on the same Reclaim heat pump AND handled the rebate. No brainer.

Fixed a botched install

Someone else had put in a ducted system that never really cooled the back rooms. They rebalanced the zones, sealed a duct, and now it's night and day.

Service visit was thorough

Booked the annual gas heater service. Actual CO test, actual clean, actual report. Not the 10-minute rip-off I was expecting.

Told me the old Rinnai had two years left and to hold off replacing it. Didn't try to upsell. That's why I'll call them when the time comes.

Questions we get a lot

Heat pumps, rebates & the fine print.

Quick honest answers. Still want a human? Call (03) 5947 8000.

How much is the VEU rebate, really?

It depends on your existing hot water unit, your home and the new unit going in. Most Pakenham households we install for see between $2,400 and $3,200 off — and we apply it at the quote stage so you don't pay it then claim it back. We'll give you the exact number after a 20-minute site check.

Am I eligible if I'm a renter or in a unit?

Owner-occupiers and landlords are both eligible under VEU. Renters can ask their landlord to upgrade — we'll talk to them directly if that's easier. Some unit complexes need owners' corporation sign-off; we'll guide you through it.

How long does an install actually take?

A like-for-like heat pump swap is usually one day. A new split is half a day. Full ducted retrofit is 2–3 days. We give you a firm window when you accept the quote and we don't leave the job half done.

What brands do you install — and why those?

Heat pumps: Reclaim (CO₂, premium), iStore (best mid-range), Thermann (budget-friendly). Aircon: Mitsubishi Electric and Kaden. Gas: Rinnai, Brivis, Braemar. We've installed enough of each to know which model suits which house — we'll recommend, not upsell.

Do you do emergencies on weekends?

Yes. Gas leak, no hot water, smoking flue — call the main number any time. After hours goes to a real on-call tradie, not an overseas call centre.

What's the warranty?

Manufacturer warranty on the unit (typically 6–10 years on the tank). 6 years on our workmanship. Compliance certificate emailed within 24 hours of install — keep it for insurance.
