Heat pump hot water systems
A heat pump hot water system uses heat from the surrounding air to help heat water. It can be an efficient alternative for suitable homes, renovations and new-build projects.
Plumbing Bros has experience installing heat pump hot water systems and can help you determine whether this type of system is appropriate for your property. Important considerations include available space, household hot water demand, the location of the equipment and the existing plumbing setup.
Our team can complete the required plumbing installation and explain how the new system should be used and maintained.
Choosing the right hot water system
The right system depends on more than the size of the existing cylinder. The number of people using hot water, available installation space, water pressure, property layout and future plans for the home should all be considered.
Plumbing Bros provides honest advice and clear recommendations based on the needs of the property. If you are renovating a bathroom, building a new home or replacing an ageing system, involving a plumber early can help ensure the new hot water setup is properly planned.

When to call
Signs your hot water system needs attention
Hot water problems often develop gradually. Arrange an assessment if you notice changes in your water temperature, pressure, supply or the condition of your cylinder.
Water around the cylinder
Moisture, dripping water, corrosion or pooling near the cylinder may indicate a leak or failing component.
Unusual noises
Banging, rumbling, hissing or other new noises may indicate a problem that needs investigation.
An ageing or unreliable system
An older cylinder that needs repeated repairs or no longer meets the property’s needs may be ready for replacement or upgrading.
