Hi everyone,
We were referred by a friend about government rebates on heat pumps which we were quoted $499 for a full installation of a twin system by eco alliance. Their compressors are Japanese made by Toshiba. Our current system is a solar HWS gas boosted which is around 12 years old and seems to be working just fine. Our gas and electricity bills aren't bad either ($80 in summer for gas) and we have solar panels. The only problem with our current system is that it takes forever to get any hot water, especially from the taps. The only place that gets decent hot water is the front shower (closest to the system). We've been told by a previous plumber that there's not much that can be done while the people looking at doing the installation here said it might help and that it is a solar problem.
I'm trying to determine whether it's worth doing the installation or not.
Many thanks
