Reclaim & iStore heat pump hot water
A heat pump hot water system pulls warmth out of the outside air and moves it into your water tank, so it uses far less power than an old electric storage unit. We supply and install Reclaim and iStore heat pumps in Somers and nearby Balnarring and Bittern, with a site visit and written quote first.
Hot water replacement in Somers
Hot water system on its last legs, or already gone cold? We replace gas and electric storage hot water systems in Somers with an energy-efficient heat pump, take the old unit away and look after the plumbing compliance paperwork.
How a heat pump heats water
A fan draws air over a coil filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant soaks up the heat, a compressor lifts its temperature, and that heat goes into the water in the tank. Reclaim says its systems can cut hot water energy use by up to 80%, and iStore quotes up to 70%. Your actual savings depend on how much hot water you use, your tariff and whether you have solar.
Replacing gas or electric hot water
We take out your old gas or electric storage system, cap the gas where needed and install the heat pump in its place. From 1 March 2027, Victorian homes replacing a gas hot water system at the end of its life will need to switch to an efficient electric option such as a heat pump, so it pays to plan ahead rather than wait for the old one to fail.
Run it off your solar
Both brands let you set timers so the heat pump runs in the middle of the day while your panels are producing. That turns spare solar into hot water instead of exporting it for a few cents.
Rebates
Solar Victoria, the Victorian Energy Upgrades program and federal STCs can all take money off the price if you’re eligible. See the rebate details further down this page.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY IN Mornington Peninsula
From urgent repairs to full installations, we deliver safe, efficient, and long-lasting heating and cooling solutions backed by years of trusted expertise.
A big thank you to Bailey and his team for excellent service for our recent central heating unit installation. Arrival time was spot on and all worked hard to achieve a quality install. Price was excellent and product exactly what I asked for. No mess was left and everything went as planned.
Just had the pleasure of meeting Bailey and Team when they came to replace our old broken down ducted heater. The job was done efficiently, smoothly and quickly and what a friendly team they are too. Highly recommended.
Had issues with our gas ducted heating and contacted Bailey who came out quickly. He diagnosed the issue after checking the system; a part needed to be ordered. As soon as this was received, Bailey was quick again to come out and fix it. In Melbourne’s current cold weather, it was a godsend! Will call him back for any future issues &/or servicing.
Bailey and his team came to install my units today, they where all very professional and very easy to work with, they knew exactly where I wanted the units to go and they where really fast and prompt. Highly recommend Mornington heating and cooling, very happy with the results thanks so much guys!
