Forrest Hill families in the Westlake school zone tend to be in their homes for the long term. When they upgrade to a heat pump, they want it sized correctly, installed properly, and backed by someone they can call back. That is exactly what a fixed-price install from us delivers.
Local knowledge: Forrest Hill has a mix of brick-and-tile and weatherboard homes from the 1970s-90s. Brick-and-tile needs masonry core drilling for the pipe, which takes longer and is included in the fixed price. Weatherboard installs are more straightforward. Either way, if you are replacing an existing fixed heater in the living area, let us know before we visit as this can affect WKH grant eligibility.
Forrest Hill's 1970s-90s homes are a mix of brick-and-tile and weatherboard. Most enquiries come from families upgrading from old electric heaters or gas. The approach changes depending on the cladding type.
Two things that come up regularly for Forrest Hill homeowners.
We confirm your cladding type at the site visit. Brick-and-tile masonry drilling and weatherboard penetration are both included in the fixed quote before you commit. You are not quoted a standard price and charged extra on the day because your home is brick-and-tile.
We calculate the heat load for the actual space, not just the room dimensions. For open-plan Forrest Hill homes with high ceilings and large windows, this makes a real difference to whether the system keeps up on a cold morning.
All wiring is done by registered electricians. You receive an Electrical Certificate of Compliance on completion. This is a legal document required for your home's records and any future sale. It is in the price, not an add-on.
If something we installed is not performing correctly within 12 months, we come back and fix it. This is on top of the manufacturer warranty on the unit. We only install what we service, so there is no ambiguity about who is responsible.
Most single-room jobs are done within a week of your first call.
We check the wall construction, ceiling cavity, switchboard, and measure the space. If you are replacing an existing heater we confirm WKH eligibility at this point.
Free, no obligationYou receive a written quote covering supply, installation, masonry drilling where required, electrical work, and Certificate of Compliance.
