📣 Hey Kiama LGA locals — Have you installed a hot water heat pump?

As more households look to cut bills and electrify, heat pumps are becoming a popular option. But how do they really perform?

We’d love to hear your experience!

👉 Have you installed one?
👉 How’s it going with performance, reliability, noise, or running costs?
👉 Who did your install — and would you recommend them?

Your feedback could really help others in the community decide whether it’s the right move for their home. 🙌

Let us know in the comments or tag someone who’s had one installed!

💰 PS — There are state and federal incentives available that can bring the cost down by hundreds of dollars - See the links below 👇🏼

“The huge advantage of operating a system like that is – if done right – it could democratise equitable access to locally generated, low-cost renewable energy,” Ty Christopher says.
