Best Hot Water Systems

had the Aquatech X8 installed recently by the guys from Same Day Hot Water in Melbourne. Happy with the unit, plenty of hot water, easy to set timers to maximise use of solar energy and quiet. Show details

It's a game-changer! We changed out an inefficient 14-year-old heating element hot water system with the EvoHeat EVO270-E and immediately saw the… Read more

savings. It uses approximately 20% of the energy of the old system according to my energy monitor. It's quiet, despite being outside our ensuite window. The water is a consistent 60 degrees and gets to every tap in the house (which the old unit struggled to do). The timer controls and different settings (such as holiday mode) are easy to change. That it's environmentally friendly on energy and coolant is a huge benefit!

Working well, and very good installers on the job, and cleaned up afterwards. Show details

Best customer service EVER. Problem solved immediately at no cost or effort to me. Awesome. Show details

It's good, heats water quickly. 125L is good for a small household. Show details

I cannot really overstate just how poorly this product has performed since we purchased it around 3 years ago. Here in S.E Queensland, throughout… Read more

most of the year when its above 30deg it works ok. Not that you really need much hot water during those 6 months of the year. Around mid may every single year. Every morning I hear "There is no hot water again". Every night "There is no hot water again" From my wife and two young kids.

For all the emails and phone calls I have made to try and rectify the problem. The only attempt to do so was to send a plumber out to reset some thermostatic something or rather in the software which did nothing at all.

The only way I have to ensure there is any hot water, is to go out twice a day and make sure it is forced into the on position in either hybrid or hybrid 1 mode.

The 15 year old Saxon this unit replaced probably didnt even get looked at twice in 15 years. Yet here I am baby sitting this POS appliance twice every single day to ensure the missus and kids can have a hot shower when they want one.

All these pics are after the system has run all day long consuming between 6-10kw/h. Considering the old system used around 9kwh per day and we were told this new system would be around 2.5kwh.....

The company that did the installation did a stellar job I might add, Could not fault their workmanship and they tried to assist as much as they could when we started having issues. But Im not going to continue wasting their time trying to rectify an issue with the product itself. The only real option we have going forward is to move to an IStore or go back to a traditional HWS.

Second Dux unit, first one was Prodigy 5 which lasted over 13 years. Reliable brand, hope this new unit last just as long. Installation was organised through Bunnings. Great service! Show details

solar. Also have to say it was supplied and installed by Sean from Only Heat Pumps and the installation was spot on. They were also extremely helpful in guiding us through everything, from how set it up to how to access the government rebates. Thanks to Jenny for helping us to access the government rebates! They could not have been more helpful and pleasant to deal with. I'm giving them 5 stars as well! And thank also to Karl and Luke. All up, great product and great people to deal with. Genuinely recommend Only Heat Pumps! One point, the software is the weak link in all of this, and it is painful to install, but that can be fixed (hopefully). The rest of the deal is great. Very satisfied customer.

Neat installation, of a very quiet unit, by professional and friendly Aqua Pro agent. Minimal costs to run - under $20pm in the middle of winter. After 5 years I finally have really hot water in this house. Show details

Excellent product. Very quiet. Runs for 1 to 1.5 hours per day. Show details

Ruan and Joe from JR Gas & Water installed the Enviroheat 200l heat pump two days ago, replacing an instantaneous gas system at the same location. … Read more

Obviously the size of the unit is must larger than the old system but is part of a change to an all-electric efficient residence. The crew arrived promptly just before 7:00 am and the work was complete by 9:00. Joe and Ruan were very efficient tradesmen in my view and the resulting setup looks very professional. All of the packaging and the old gas unit were taken away. The unit was chosen as it was rated as very quiet for a heat pump. However the unit’s noise was a little surprising on its first heating cycle when I presume it was working particularly hard on a full tank of cold water. It can be programed (in the near future) to heat at time when some noise should blend with the daily background sounds. It maybe that the Time Of Use (TOU) period offered by some electricity providers (currently between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm for free electricity) may also be advantageous. By 10:30 am it was sufficient for the first shower and soon after went all quiet after reaching it’s design temperature.

Great communication with Kavan from Sunline Energy. Very affordabe unit. Time will tell regarding performance, looks sturdy, but very glad to get… Read more

off gas HWS! A couple of call outs: The Aether noise is noticeable when heating but no more than a standard AC. Could have clearer instructions regarding connecting to app but glad we can specify heating times to take advantage of solar. Install was fairly quick and clean.

Presale advice from the company was very helpful. Unit has been operating efficiently and saving us electricity cost. Company are easy to contact, friendly and supportive and offer quick turn around

months that would make up its own mind to ignite. Hot water arrives at the shower, vanity and bath very quickly and as I am on tank water with little pre flow to waste. Very quiet operation. A blessing. Extremely happy. Great price from Bunnings with excellent service from them as well.

Plumber finally returned and spent 4 hours fixing problems with their install. Now the unit works as intended and no longer keeps our neighbours awake.

Apricus heat pump was installed in August 2025. Had no issues operates as expected, plenty of hot water. Show details

Collector broke after 2 years Apricus will replace part BUT labor and traveling is at OUR COST we live 80k from town so another $550 at least. This does not compute if they agree that their part broke surely they should pay for the repair

I Purchased a Envirosun 300/40 system with Electric boost for $3.5K in August 2023. I chose Envirosun due to the stainless steel tank, hoping it… Read more

would last longer than a normal steel tank. In February 2026 I noticed the tank was leaking. I don't know how long it had been leaking, but based on the staining it would have been a while. The tank was replaced under warranty within about a week, so good support there. Then in June 2026 I noticed the collector was now leaking. Again I don't know how long this had been occuring. Unfortunately this time there were no panels available, and it was more than a month before it was replaced. They also only replaced one of the 2 panels, so assume I'll need to do the other one soon. Apart from 2 thirds of the system needing replacement in less than 3 years, the system itself worked really well. I rarely have the booster turned on, with the sun producing enough for our needs. Warranty support was good for the tank, but waiting over a month for a panel is not acceptable. Envirosun made a lot of claims about the quality and reliability of their systems, but from what I have seen so far, this is not the case. My previous Solarhart system lasted over 20 years, with only a couple of anodes and valves replaced in that time before the tank eventually ruptured.

Extremely pleased with the Thermal Ark 200 – I am extremely happy with my new hot water heat pump and the service they provided. Paul and his team were quick, friendly & done a very professional neat job. Also great support with any questions I had. I would recommend this company and product. Show details

I purchased a NeoPower ST-EL400L-O hot water system in 2018, and it has now started leaking after only 7 years. When I reached out for warranty… Read more

support, I was told the warranty was void because I hadn’t completed a 5-year service—something that was never disclosed or explained at the time of sale.

NeoPower refused to take any responsibility and offered no resolution. For a product marketed as long-lasting and reliable, this is extremely disappointing. Their warranty policy is vague and unfair, and customer service was dismissive and unhelpful.

I also visited the NeoPower website and found that all links and references to the warranty terms and conditions are not publicly accessible.

Would not recommend—look elsewhere if you want durability and support you can rely on.

Plumbing Services were exceptional. The unit was installed and tested promptly. It operates smoothly and quietly without shortage of hot water during the family morning rush. I would strongly recommend DUX, as a perfect choice as the house hot water system. At the end it is the 5 star system.

Stiebel Eltron WWK222H review 8/10/2026 While it was working it was good, but failed after 5 years and needed repair. Then at 7 years old it had a… Read more

catastrophic failure deeming it uneconomical to repair.

Installed 8/2019 for total cost of $2,609 including STC credit and first failure at 5 years (2024) left us without hot water for over a week because only special techs from Brislec (Brisbane) can service these. Total failure was due to rust in the external section of the emergency booster electric heating element. See photo.

The 7 year (2026) failure was masked by the emergency element doing the heating (H model has the emergency element) because the heat pump stopped working. Discovered issue when checking solar power usage and noticed unusual power spikes about every hour all day and night. Tech from Brislec found a whole bunch of wires melted and burnt out inside. He made it safe so it could continue to limp along until it could be replaced. During the 7 years, the relief valve needed to be replaced twice.

So it is a write off after 7 years and will replace with a normal electric storage hot water system and use switch board timer to ensure it only uses power when solar is likely to be available.

Not much technically go wrong in a normal HWS because all it has is thermostat, heating element and sacrificial anode. All of which are quick and simple to replace by any tech.

installed by Daniel by Same Day Hot Water Service Pty Ltd great product for a stainless steel tank very quiet and uses hardly any power to run
