Great service from Jodie at AES – Hello I just wanted to sincerely thank Jodie for her wonderful service, and follow up help with my heat pump. I love the product and Jodie made it so easy to contact AES for advice and help. What a treasure to have such a happy friendly helpful employee such as Jodie. Many thanks Jane Cullen

No inhouse Service, warranty by subcontractors, no spares kept in Australia. Fairland product is terrible – Bought 2 Fairland heat pumps from Australian Energy Systems. Bad quality control at Fairland factory - both units did not have their temperature sensors correctly installed, which took 6 month to diagnose. Then both units failed after only 3 years and 4 years of duty. Warranties and service is only through sub-contractors NOT AES, so you pay… Read more
minimum $4K for a warranty repair. Landed up emailing the factory in China directly.
AES do not keep maintenance spares kept in Australia - Waited 12 weeks for replacement compressor to arrive and be installed.
Fairland products have massively inferior control and user interface - much better products and suppliers on the market.
When second heat pump failed, AES again told me to arrange my own support visit with a subcontractor. In contrast Sunlover Heating have their own team of technicians and arranged a visit the same day, to replace the Fairland unit with an Oasis heat pump, which is far superior to the AES product.
Australian Energy Systems exceeded our expectations. Read why – Our 5000ltr swim spa was costing about $2000/year to heat. We went looking for a solar heating alternative. After 4 failed attempts at trying to find someone who could help us, we found AES. 1. Kraig turned up on time and spent about 1 hour looking at the alternatives for heating the spa. This included removing outside panels to understand where… Read more · 1
the pumps and plumbing were (the documentation on the spa was very poor to non-existent). 2. By that evening we had quotes on three alternatives, with brochures explaining how each option worked. 3. Communication with Tracey was excellent, keeping us informed when installation would occur and providing details of the Company’s policy for social distancing. 4. Matt arrived on the day of installation, on time, and with everything required to complete the job. 5. All the parts used in the installation were commercial quality. There were no shortcuts, trying to save a few dollars. 6. Access to the spa was not easy as the bottom half was below a timber deck, leaving only crawl space to access the areas for installing the solar system. Matt admitted that it was one of the most difficult installations he had ever done, but he didn’t complain. He just got on with the job. 7. We were impressed that Matt didn’t come to us with problems, he just logically worked through solutions and then informed us what he planned to do and why. 8. Matt certainly went the extra mile. This included: a. Securing the pump to the concrete base. b. Installing valves on the suction and pressure side of the pump so that maintenance could be carried out without having to empty the spa. c. Neat installation of the pipe work. d. Applying silicon to the screws for the manifolds on the roof to seal out moisture. e. Took photos of the roof installation so that we could see what had been done on the roof. He emailed them to us before he left. f. Matt spent half an hour explaining how the system worked, including the annual maintenance and also took a call from us the next day to answer questions we had forgotten to ask. g. Cleaning up after himself to a point where there was no sign of him being there except for the new solar system. We anticipate that the cost for heating the spa will drop from $2,000/year to about $130/year. The return on our investment works out at over 40%, which is by far the best investment we have been able to make for a long time. There is no comparison between Australian Energy Systems and the other companies we sought quotes from. We highly recommend Australian Energy Systems. They are a brilliant, knowledgeable and highly professional company.
Pressure issue – I had a call from Tracey just after the Christmas break to advise AES would send a maintenance person out to fix the leaks in my solar pool heating. After the call it rained and rained so nothing could be done (and I guessed it would be like that) but Tracey called me to advise they could not come out due to the weather and that AES would go… Read more
through their schedule and get my problem sorted. Well this morning (17 Feb) Matt from AES knocked on the door. Matt explained everything he would be doing and cracked on. Last thing to do was to balance the pressure, I have a new eco pump and to get the system working properly Matt had to adjust eco mode to nearly what the clean mode was set at. Sort of negated the reason for an eco pump, but Matt was not finished and he suggested a couple of options to me. Matt tuned the flow rate to and from the roof and got the pump down to 2050rpm. Great job Tracey for rescheduling my job quickly and Matt, you freely shared your knowledge and experiences. Thank you. Great company to be dealing with.

AES installed 2 heat pumps to our 25 metre lap pool in our apartment complex about 2 years ago and we are very happy with the operation of the units. Our owners love being able to swim all year round and so do their grandkids. Today we had Kael out to service the units as we had a problem with the water flow into the units. He inspected the… Read more
settings on the units and adjusted the valves in the pool room to rectify this problem. He was very helpful in explaining the correct settings for the units to avoid any future problems. AES' quote for the pool heaters was very competitive and we are glad we chose them
Needed some aftercare and instructions on using my heat pump. Jodie was fantastic and talked me through what I need to do as I hadn’t used it since I bought it. Very helpful and patient! Thanks again!
Very happy with the help I received today. I hadn’t used the heater during summer and couldn’t get it working. Got a very fast phone back and was talked through my issue. (Turned out I hadn’t pressed the power on button properly) Thank you for your help with this silly rookie.
Big Thank you to Jody! I was left literally holding the baby after my pool installer went bust and leaving me with the system not quite set up correctly. Jody was very patient and we managed to find the problem over the phone. excellent communication and knowledge of the product and how it should be installed.
A huge "THANK YOU" to Jodie, the lady not only had great communication skills, knowledge of my system and the time (a number of phone calls) to have my AES pool heat pump up and running again, if not better; Jodie was very pleasant to talk too. WELL DONE Jodie, well done AES. Regards and thank you once again!!!!!!!! Allan Mulholland
New heat pump and pool cover – Absolutely amazing service and installation. Such a friendly team and explained everything easily and clearly to me. Would highly recommend. Installed with top quality and attention to detail.
Awesome – Fast, reliable service from an awesome team. The installation was top quality with a polite, professional and courteous team. Would highly recommend the company and products Show details
Commercial Pool Heating – I highly recommend AES for helping us with heating issues in cold Country Victoria. Jason and Jodie gave amazing support and advice and helped up achieve a warm pool. When our existing units were not up to the task and had issues, Jason was very generous in his time to help us sort out a solution and the new units we ordered are working well even though we have very cold overnight temps where our pool is situated. Thank you to the AES Team !! Show details

Customer Service at its Best – From the moment I called AES, until the work was complete, I received fantastic customer service from all their staff. This was reinforced yesterday by Kyle from AES, who removed our old pool solar panels. He demonstrated outstanding onsite skill, professionalism and customer care and apart from recommending AES for this type of work, I'd be asking for Kyle!
Great Service All-round – We've had solar pool heating from AES for several years but recently decided to run it in conjunction with a heat pump which we absolutely love!! From Kraig providing us the various options / quotes to the admin staff Jodie, Richard, & Jade co-ordinating the install / services etc along with the friendly tech's Jamie & Boschie coming on-site… Read more
regularly; we highly recommend the services of Australian Energy Systems & thank you all for outstanding customer service (& giving us extended pool use of course too)...
Incredible customer service and installation – I contacted Australian Energy Systems after deciding to install a heat pump once my pool was finished. Initially Kraig came out and advised what system would suit the pool size. I also spoke to the sparky who was working on the pool and he gave a thumbs up on both the heat pump choice and AES themselves. After several months delays with the pool… Read more
construction, a very understanding Jodie kept in contact putting my mind at ease over the delays and the supply of the heat pump. We ended up having to put the installation date back by four months, but as soon as the pool was finished Jodie booked in installation. The installer, Cain, was an absolute champ who set the heat pump up perfectly, patiently went over all the features, then went on and brushed down and vacuumed the pool before fitting the Daisy pool cover I had opted for through them. Can't fault these guys and were a dream to deal with.
Great service – We have used Australian Energy Systems for pool heating pump as well as installation of roof top solar repair. Jodie has been terrific, getting people to us quickly. The teams that came were all great but I'd like to call out Boschie who installed the solar. He came on time, completed the work quietly and efficiently and left the site spotless. Many thanks to the AES team
Great work AES once again – Please give my thanks to Richard and let him know how happy I am with the service and Matt’s call out today- he was very thorough, to the point and helped with some queries I had with the system. Always professional.
Pool heater installation – Great service from the AES team. Special 5 star mention to: Boschie - the installer who could not have been more helpful Kane - for efficient and friendly removal of old equipment Zarlee and Craig - who guided us through the purchase Jodie and Jade - last but not least for keeping in contact and coordinating the work. Great job AES

Praising Jamie for his excellent service – Jamie serviced our heating on Wednesday morning. There were some confusions with time and price, but nothing phased him. He arrived with a big smile and it almost appeared that it was his privilege to attend. He happily attended to the job, and when he was finished, he came and let me know that he was finished and what he had done. if all service… Read more
technicians could be more like him, what a wonderful thing it would be. he really is an asset to the face of the company - after all the company is reflected by the face to face contact with the technicians. Thanks Jamie
Great service – The two Steves we had to install our pool solar did a great job. They were extremely neat and tidy, arrived on time and completed the job in one day. We didn't think the solar was working properly, but Steve returned promptly to explain a few details, and reassure us. Extremely happy with their service. Also, I paid part of the account with my credit card which should have had a 2% surcharge, and this was waived. Show details
Wonderful service – What a great company . Theur customer service was excellent as they were very communicative and Sean the installer couldn't do more to help or explain. He left sight very clean and tidy. Tracey at the office kept the communication up so we were informed every step of the way. Highly recommend
Great service – Steve Boschi arrived to do my annual pool solar service this morning. He was friendly and professional and very thorough during all his checks. In fact he went above and beyond what was required of him and moved the temperature sensor to a more appropriate spot to receive maximum sunlight. Thanks Steve. Cheers, Paula Show details
Replacement Solar Controller – Matt replaced our solar controller and serviced our pool solar system yesterday. He was prompt, friendly and explained what was required well. The invoice came in under the quoted amount, really impressed with AES.
Leaks in solar tube system - excellent service! – Many thanks to Kraig Butcher, Steve (installer), Tracey (co-ordinator) for arranging an in-depth quote & fixing my issues within 24 hours especially during this busy time. I would fully recommend AES company for all energy systems. Show details
AES are the complete Pool Heating Package – Looking around for pool solar heating option, our local pool shop recommended AES as the solution provider and we have not looked backwards since. From our initial measure and quote service from Kraig to Tracey's organisational and administrative excellence we were measured up in booked in within 2 days. Patrick arrived on time and did not stop… Read more
until installation was complete (7 hours in the summer sun). Before leaving, Patrick cleaned the site, explained the operational procedures and left us all with a smile on our faces. All members of the team were punctual, courteous and attentive. Thoroughly recommend, these guys are the best! B from Ashgrove
Excellent service – I am totally impressed with this great company. Kraig came to my home to advice and measure for a pool solar blanket. Steve came to install the blanket Both of these guys were efficient and friendly and explained and discussed with me all decisions made. Also worthy of mention is Jody at the office who kept me up to date and informed. Really top company all round and their price was unbeatable Show details
Instant benefits – We decided to go with AEC pool heating after researching many options. Kraig, Tracey and Jodie have been extremely helpful and Patrick arrived punctually, installed the unit, had it up and running, explained the basic operation, cleaned the area, and all this so very politely and with a smile on his face. Brilliant service and the temperature is perfect for us. Show details
Fabulous results!!! – From the get go Kraig, Tracey and Matt proved to be totally professional. Tracey couldn't be more helpful, the guys were punctual and I absolutely recommend this company and their products!!!
