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.
