WARNING Heat pumps, 3 years max.

Another alternative solution with no gas is an instantaneous hot water services.

We have one in our apartment and it works well. Only issue is it needs 3 phase power.

I've never liked them- and they still use a bit of power in "peak" power period (its like running a fridge or zircon).

Solar or instant gas make much more sense in my opinion.

A further update.

The link above is to my ebay listing of this rheem heat pump.

Its not forsale but a warning to other users who are thinking of buying one.

I get about three messages a week from people who have similar issues.

The good thing is with free listings and now auto relisting when it expires
it will continue to be listed as a warning.

Prop had the same issue with this hot water unit and next door neighbour.

He built in his carport to accommodate his aging father without
council approval then complained to me about the noisy hotwater system.
