Had an issue with our 3 year old heat pump, contacted the Apricus service dept. The response was very positive and an excellent outcome. Great service from an Aussie company. The unit is extremely efficient and compliments our solar system. Show details

We installed an Apricus All-In-One Heat pump in July 2024 when we were replacing our gas hot water and heating systems to cater for solar power. Since then it has run flawlessly requiring no attention, supplying adequate hot water throughout all the seasons and assisting in reducing our energy bills. Chris

Our Apricus heat pump hws is nearly 18 months old now and I m very satisfied with it. It is running very well, a good reliable supply of hot water, and no issues. It is extremely economical, in fact virtually no running costs as I have been able to set it for daylight hours, so it is using mostly free power from our rooftop solar. If I was paying… Read more

for the little electricity it uses, I would be paying a small fraction of the cost of running the gas storage hws it replaced.

I changed out my Solar HWS 16 months ago that had been in use for 19 years. I was not a keen on using a Heatpump unit to replace the Solar because of the noise pollution from all Heatpumps that I had previously experienced on work site accommodation camps & Caravan Parks most being very annoying if you were in close proximity to them. After… Read more

speaking with my installer who suggested the Apricus all in one unit I was at first hesitant of installing this unit as it was near the ensuite window of the main bedroom but after researching the onboard electronics & the ability to program Start/Stop times to run the unit between 10am-5pm making best use of my Solar Power during the day this also coincides when during the week no one is home I am grateful I selected this unit. Not only is it the quietest Heatpump unit I have seen , it is very efficient when set up on the timer to run during the day only & I have not run out of Hot Water since installation. There is a Boost function should the owner ever need extra Hot Water during special occasions ie Xmas when extra family & friends are staying over. Fantastic unit & would not hesitate to recommend these units now that it has proven itself. And buying quality Australian products is best value thank you. Jake Ravo.

I was asked to make a review of the Apricus All-In-One Heat Pump and seeing as it has worked flawlessly since its installation in 2023, I decided to submit. Firstly, when we were considering ‘’heat-pump technology’’ our plumber related to us how he has had to repair the government supplied units in our area within their first working year. It… Read more

boiled down to the fact that you get what you pay for. Do you want a cheap one and get it fixed down the track or do you want a decent one that lasts? The Australian Apricus All-In-One Heat Pump was more expensive; however, it is an Australian product, it looks good and it works. We bought the unit which has an extra heating element for colder conditions, but we have never activated the element ever! The unit provides ample hot water even when we have guests staying over. It makes a bit of fan noise when it’s working, but correct placement of the unit nullifies any annoyance of this fan operating noise. Just don’t place it near and open house window and the problem is solved. Both my partner and I highly recommend the unit to you. Furthermore, we are proud that we bought Australian.

The Apricus Heat Pump has provided ample hot water every day since it was installed. As I am the sole occupant of this villa there is not a great deal of demand, but hot water is available for laundry, showering, dish washing and general cleaning. I am quite happy with the unit. Show details

Really loving the efficient hot water solution. No more nasty gas burning all night which is bad for the environment and budget. I would definitely recommend a clean and safe solution for everyone. Show details

I have a renovated unit in eastern suburbs of Melbourne. I put a 5Kw solar system on the roof and purchased an Apricus all in one unit. It is programmed for best solar input. I had a small problem initially after installation but called Apricus and a more experienced person than the plumber that did the installation came out. Problem solved and… Read more

have had a year of a great hot water supply since. Product was recommended by an off the grid electrician as well as the expert from the RACV.

We had our Apricus 260L heat pump HWS installed by Melbourne Heat Pumps in January 2025, out of pocket was $2,435.00 inc. GST (after Vic Rebate). The unit is a solid, quality made appliance, always have piping hot water, the unit has never missed a beat. Programmable via an App, you can select operating mode, time on/time off, total power usage… Read more

and it shows current water temp and a whole range of other specs. Never had an issue with fluctuating water pressure, just loads of hot water 24/7. To date the running costs of the unit per day is $0.53 cents! Most of that was solar as well, so costs are virtually cents only per day. You can't complain about that.

Highly recommend this HWS if you are looking for a reliable, quality appliance. Warranty is 6 years on both parts and labour as well (provided you have the sacrificial anode checked/replaced at 3 years).

Installer initially located Apricus all-in-one heat pump near window, where heater’s noise was more noticeable & we could see it from family room. But after we complained, it was relocated further away at no cost. Noise not noticeable now. The… Read more

Apricus HP has significantly reduced our gas bill. Don’t think it meets 5-adult hw usage capacity as advertised, especially after continuous use. But for 3 adults & 1 toddler, who loves his baths, it is fine. Also, I like convenience of using the app.

 Follow-up  · Relocation process was smooth after getting in touch with installer. On the App I’ve adjusted the heat settings and monitored temperature. Didn’t notice any change in performance in winter.

Solar tube heating system has been running for about 10 years now and backs up hot water to our normal system. I have had to replace a control system, mainly because the tradey couldn't work out (failed to get on roof and check sensor that had fallen out>). Works without fault and probably has 2 discoloured (evacuated tubes) but no heat loss noticeable. The problem with all of these Solar tech apparatus is the lack of "Mech-Tek" savvy tradeys I Show details

Great when it works, but the timer function is broken – It works great however the timer functions are broken. I've tried setting timers and it will sometimes work for a day, but then it will just never turn back on once it turns off, leaving me with cold water. Kind of pointless when I wanted it specifically to go with my solar system. Wish I'd spent more and got a better system. Oh well... Show details

Great Heat Pumps, amazing price – As a plumber, we are plagued by others in the industry that use cheap or 'free' heat pumps. These heat pumps are not one of those units. I have installed over a dozen of these and every single install has been without any dramas. My customers are loving them as they have a newer sleek look to them, I am able to price them over $1000 cheaper than… Read more ·  1

other mid-range heat pumps and still be able to provide all the features found in the more expensive ones.

The units are versatile, able to be connected to WiFi, can hardwire or connect with plug into a GPO, warranty is huge for a heat pump of this cost and I know they actually fulfil that promise. I haven't had a single call back for any of the units I've installed!

Customer service is the best thing about these units. Even with the units being extremely easy to install, my local rep is more than happy to pick up the phone and walk through some things and even come to site to show what I might be missing. They never miss a phone call and for me, I am speaking to another experienced plumber that can answer some hard questions.

Over the last few decades I've installed countless different Heat pumps, some of the biggest brands and some more niche ones. Over that time you do get a grasp on the ones that will die within a year or stand the test of time. These units are ones that I will continue pushing to my customers on every job.
