HEAT PUMP FAQ′S
Should the electrical supply to my heat pump come directly from the switchboard?
It is a recommendation of the Energy Safety Board that all heat pumps be wired direct. (see attached letter outlining the reasons). However, if the circuit is thoroughly checked out and sufficient capacity is available it is permissible to utilise that circuit. We as a company run the supply direct from the switchboard wherever possible. As you can no doubt appreciate this is more costly and should be taken into account when comparing quotes.

Should I receive an Electrical Certificate of Compliance (C.O.C.) when the heat pump has been installed?
Yes. Whenever electrical installation work is carried out, you should get one. If you are not given one, ask for it, as it is a legal requirement. It is also sensible to see the installers Electrical Registration Card before the electrical work is carried out.

How often do you go into your roof void?
As an additional service for $35.00 incl. gst we will install a quality rodent bait within your roof void. The reason for offering this service is we have found that the majority of homes have a rodent problem. The severity of the problem varies and very often the home occupier is not aware of it. This service saves you the awful job of crawling through the roof space and gives you peace of mind.

How effective is heat transfer?
Heat transfer of surplus heat from a log burner or gas fire is very effective, but do not expect it to fully heat the whole house. A general rise in temperature will be achieved. As heat pump installers we as a company prefer not to transfer heat from a heat pump.

What are the benefits of the Summer Option?
It introduces fresh, filtered, pollen free air into the home even when the doors and windows are closed. When the climatic conditions allow, it can also have a cooling effect. However, on very warm, humid days this cooling effect is sadly reduced. In these conditions air-conditioning is the solution.(check out our combination offer and have the best of both worlds).

Can the summer option and heat transfer be fitted at a later date?
Yes they can. However, it is obviously cheaper to do it at the initial install stage.
