Chromagen is a very dodgy company beware if you are considering get a hotwater sytem through them they sighn you up and dont wish to no about you after that

Product is ok but Chromagen service back up is poor. If you have an issue with your hot water unit on the weekend, they will charge you $275 even if its under warranty for labour and parts. Not very ethical company

I bought this system off Greenlogic solar over 2 years ago and the tank had a error on the system i called up the manufacturer and Greenlogic and they both want a $190 call out fee plus extra money for parts to fix the unit that should be under warranty, try avoid this unit and go for something else

We had this installed 2 days ago. It's a very cool looking unit and makes as much noise as your fridge, 48 decibels. The quality looks good and the plumber and sparky said that the unit is high quality and that they have never had a call out to fix one, in their experience. They also said not to worry about setting the timer as to let the thermostat regulate the compressor cycles, as to have constant hot water. Each to their own, but I'm just doing what they suggested for now. The annual running costs for the heat pump will be under half of wha...

Rapid heat up, minimal noise, small spatial footprint and energy efficient. Easy to use, and relatively low cost. Very happy. Sits on a big hill in a coastal environment so harsh setting.

We wen without hot water for 12 days and no one showed up until Alex and moe called and said they be here tonight they showed up and fixed the problem not just great service but reall nice men who know what they are doing and I’m so happy of what they did tonight for me they deserve more than what they get as they are good at there job I’m very happy with them
And thank you again moe and Alex

Installed by Builder in display home we purchased. Easy now to see why... cheap Chinese rubbish. Heat pump errored and stopped after 4 years. Rang Chromagen 4 times.. each time they would "send their electician" No Call, no visit. That was weeks ago. Its out of statutory warranty, hence out of concern. Dont waste your money. If you need to replace just get an off-peak. If you are young enough to see the savings in your lifetime..get solar.

Bought a Midea heat pump 170 2 years ago and know the screen is faded I can’t read anything and the hot water is leaking from the front, wish I spent the extra money to get a better product

Wished we install the 300 lt the same as we had which was a excellent heat pump but only lasted 4 years. Went with the smaller one as recommended but notice our power bill went up.Sales people say it would do 4 people it would struggle. A little disappointed.

This thing seriously comes up short in some very obvious design flaws that can cost you money.

Firstly, if the power goes out, even for a second, ALL presets are lost and if you don't notice this has occurred then when you do want hot water it could well be lukewarm or cold, depending on the duration before next use and/or noticing it has occurred.

Secondly, the tank insulation is pathetic, you can almost watch the degrees dropping away on the readout after your preset timer has switched off so basically you need to overheat your water

We have 2 x 170 litre systems, one for the house & one for Granny flat. Best thing we have done, never run out of water. On a 6 degree night with the grandkids staying over the water temperature got down to 41 degrees, by morning it was back up to 61 degrees. I was impressed.

The hot water service it replaced was working perfectly, lovely hot water throughout the house.
Now no hot water, none to the en-suite. No need to use the cold water tap anywhere in the house.

My exhaust outlet value leeks far too much. It has been replaced about every 6 months. MY power bill goes up and water consumption soars. Any saving the heat pump makes is lost due to these faulty valves.
A different type of valve is required for this unit. Of course the temperature will drop when the water is flowing out over a litre an hour

Was contacted by the hot water company a few months ago and was put onto this new type of system and have noticed a massive difference on my latest quarterly bill. easily saved myself nearly $200 and only thing I've changed is my hot water system. work great for myself, the hubby and two teenage girls, havent run out of water once yet! wish I'd know about this years ago lol

We are a two person household, meets all of our needs perfectly. Water is consistently hot and there is very little noise coming from the unit. Disappointed that Bunnings sold us an 8 year old unit, but it is performing very well. Had to contact Chromagen for an initial leakage problem, but this was very quickly sorted, their service was commendable.

The Heat Pump part of this cylinder stopped working after approx 3 years, the cylinder rusted out after 5 years & 3 months, 3 months out of warranty. Rubbish, Don't buy!

I purchased this unit in 2014, the system has worked well since then and is economical. Where it falls short is the build quality, at this point all exposed plastics are degraded, the top lid of the unit warped within the first few months. After 5 years all the seals are degrading and cracking, same with the top of the unit. It is still working for now but having spoken to plumbers and had a visit, the seals cannot be fixed. Dealing with Chromagen they simply sent someone out to visit who charged for the site visit (no advice from Chromagen tha...

This hot water heater came as a nice gift from the government.
The heater services 3 adults in an off grid environment for 8 months of the year. The other 4 months I run a parallel instantaneous lpg gas heater (winter).
The 250 rheem electric it replaced for us used 12 kwh per day. The Midea uses 6 kwh on eccon and 6-8 on hybrid. The saving on power is not important to us during summer, however on the shoulder months when energy generation is limited it makes a significant difference. also saving money as not using lpg. This heater is an eff...

After much contemplation and research I decided to install a Midea 170L hot water heat pump for a household of two adults. (Replaced a leaking 130L electric heater)
Installed in December 2019 and have seen a 40% reduction in electricity usage through the Energy Australia app. The unit is set to heat to 60deg C to heat on the inbuilt timer from 12noon -5pm.
The temperature of the water held in the tank gradually decreases over the day till the next heating cycle. The true test will be in winter when the ambient temperature drops drastically ove...

Splutters when first turned on hedge called a few times awaiting for some one to come and look at it other than that very efficient heating system nice hot water
