My appliance needs replacing

heating - cooling - hot water service

​Heating, cooling and hot water appliances are long lived – you may get 10-20 years of life out of them. They can also be expensive to replace. If your systems have failed, are failing or are greater than 10 years old, it’s a perfect time to learn about the options for replacement.
​
In many cases, replacing “like for like” won't get you the best efficiency or lowest running costs. Energy efficiency standards and appliance technology have improved a lot over the years. If you choose an inefficient model now, you will not get a chance to replace it for another 10-20 years!

It's important to remember that your old heater or cooler was installed when energy efficiency of the building was not a concern. This means that your heater is sized on the assumption that a lot of the heat will just be escaping your home!
​
We recommend that you improve your home's building shell first, before updating heating/cooling. A better building shell can reduce or eliminate the need for heating and cooling systems. 
To find the most cost effective way to stay warm or cool, we recommend getting a detailed Residential Efficiency Scorecard before spending a lot of money on replacements.

If you only need to replace a single appliance (heating/cooling/hot water system), a Phone Consultation is another option for basic advice.
