Services
Heat Pumps
Split system heat pumps provide energy-efficient heating and cooling for residential and commercial spaces. These systems use advanced refrigeration technology to transfer heat rather than generate it, reducing energy consumption by up to 30% compared to traditional electric heating. Available in various capacities, they suit single rooms or whole-house applications with zoned temperature control via smart thermostats or mobile apps. Our installations include Daikin and Fujitsu models with 5-year warranties.
Solar Panels
Solar panel systems convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic technology, reducing grid dependency and power bills. Our JA Solar panels combine high efficiency with durability for Tasmania's climate. Systems include Fronius or GoodWe inverters for energy conversion and grid interaction. Battery-ready designs allow future storage integration. Installations typically achieve 30%+ household energy self-sufficiency, with government rebates available to reduce upfront costs.
EV Chargers
Smart EV charging stations enable fast, efficient home charging for electric vehicles. Our Zappi chargers integrate with solar systems for renewable energy use, featuring WiFi connectivity for tariff-optimised scheduling. Installations support all vehicle types with Level 2 charging speeds (up to 22kW). Systems include energy monitoring apps and qualify for Tasmanian Energy Saver Scheme discounts when combined with solar panel installations.
Ducted Heating
Ducted reverse cycle systems provide whole-property climate control through ceiling or underfloor duct networks. These zoned systems allow independent temperature management per room using wall-mounted controllers or smartphone apps. Fujitsu models offer 5-year warranties with quiet operation (as low as 42dB). Typical installations complete within 2-3 days, including ductwork modifications for existing properties.
Hot Water Systems
Heat pump hot water systems use ambient air energy to heat stored water, achieving 65-78% efficiency improvements over conventional electric systems. Stiebel Eltron and Reclaim Energy models feature high-density insulation for minimal heat loss and smart controllers for off-peak energy use. Systems qualify for renewable energy certificates reducing purchase costs, with average payback periods under 5 years through energy bill savings.
