Hot Water System Upgrade in Lilli Pilli - Solar to Heat Pump Replacement
This homeowner in Lilli Pilli called our hot water team to discuss why they had no hot water. This was caused by a failed roof-mounted solar system. The unit was severely corroded and beyond repair
How We Solved The Problem
Our team of hot water technicians thoroughly inspected the roof and the solar system, confirming that the only option was to completely replace it. At this stage, it was more cost-effective than trying to repair the system.
Our Solution
We recommended upgrading to an air source heat pump system over another solar system. This was due to the high additional cost of purchasing and installing a brand-new solar system. Roof-mounted solar systems are also difficult to service and can rack up expensive running costs during rainy, cloudy weather.
This heat pump can run virtually free of charge if there are already PV solar panels installed, but they also run incredibly effectively if there aren't any solar panels, so it's a win-win situation. This new system is also mounted on the ground, making it easier to access when it comes time to perform maintenance and repairs.
Another bonus is that there are several government rebates and schemes available when switching to heat pump systems. This helps reduce the overall initial cost of the unit.
