Why a Heat Pump Suits This Valley
A heat pump works like an air conditioner in reverse: a compressor and fan move heat from the outside air into the tank through a refrigerant cycle. No burner, no pilot, no element chewing power day and night.
No gas needed
The unit runs on electricity alone, so it suits houses the gas mains never reached, which is a fair slice of this valley.
An outdoor unit
Clear airflow around the compressor and fan keeps the system efficient, so we site it in open air, set back from bedroom windows.
Family-sized output
A storage tank suits households that run showers, washing and dishes back to back through the morning.
Safe temperatures built in
The tank keeps stored water at 60°C, and a tempering valve holds bathroom taps at 50°C or below.
How We Fit a Heat Pump System
- 1
Pick the position
We walk the block and find a level, open-air spot with clearance on all sides and enough distance from bedrooms to keep the fan noise out of your nights.
- 2
Check the power
Most units run on an ordinary household circuit, and if the switchboard wants an upgrade first, we flag that early so nothing surprises you on the day.
- 3
Set the tank and unit
We take out the old cylinder, position the new tank and outdoor unit, and connect the pipework and valves.
- 4
Fill and test
We fill the tank, set the thermostat, test the TPR and tempering valves, and check the flow at every tap with you there.

Pricing a Heat Pump Install
The figure depends on the job in front of us, so we look before we quote.
- Tank capacity, sized to the household rather than guessed.
- Where the tank and outdoor unit sit, and how easily the block lets us reach them, because a steep slope or a narrow side passage slows the day.
- The state of the electrical supply, and whether the existing circuit will carry the unit.
- Whether the old system's valves and pipe runs can carry over or need replacing.
Every hot water job is quoted as a fixed price before any work starts, and nothing goes ahead until you say yes. We keep to flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees and no surcharge for nights, weekends or public holidays. Fix now, pay later is available as well.
Heat Pumps on These Hill Blocks
Room for the unit
At the last census, 92 per cent of the 5914 dwellings counted here were separate houses, so most blocks offer a level patch of yard or a wide side passage that gives an outdoor unit room to breathe.
A known quantity around here
Install records for the postcode list 1000 heat pump systems, so this is not a technology anyone is learning on your driveway.
Old cylinders ripe for swapping
Many houses from the 1960s and 1970s fill still run electric tanks whose cylinders are well past their best, and a heat pump can slot into the same footprint without a gas line or flue. The Gap Same Day Hot Water installs and services heat pump systems across these slopes and the streets around them.
If the cylinder is already weeping rather than just worn, the hot water replacement page takes over where repairs end, and hot water installation covers new builds and relocations.
When We're Not the Right Call
A fresh power circuit to feed some units is wiring for an electrician rather than us, and any claim under the manufacturer's warranty belongs with the maker, not the plumber.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call (07) 3523 7170Will a heat pump suit the houses on this valley's slopes?
Yes; census figures show 92 per cent of dwellings here are separate houses, so most yards offer a level patch where an outdoor unit can sit with clear airflow.
Can a heat pump replace a worn electric tank in a 1960s The Gap house?
It can, and that swap is one of the neater upgrades for the suburb's older homes, since the new tank usually takes the old cylinder's spot and the unit goes outside.
How does a heat pump handle a cold night near Enoggera Creek?
This postcode sees an average of 0.2 frost days annually, so the compressor and fan keep drawing heat out of the air through winter, even on the low-lying creek side.
Does a heat pump need much from the Energex supply?
It runs on a normal household circuit in most cases, and where the switchboard needs an upgrade or a fresh circuit, that wiring sits with a licensed electrician instead of us.
Is a heat pump install for a The Gap home licensed work?
It is; a hot water system goes in under a plumbing licence in Queensland, and we carry the licensing for the job, so everything is done to code from the first pipe.
