Can I run a heat pump with solar power?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

Yes, if you have an existing solar power system CDL will inspect it and utilise this as the power source for a new heat pump. Alternatively, we can install rooftop solar thermal panels to power the heat pump and so further reduce your electricity costs<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How do i find out if i qualify for a rebate for a heat pump in NSW?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

All you have to do is give us a quick call and with some basic information, we will find out if you are eligible for a domestic or business heat pump rebate from the NSW govt in the Lake Macquarie or Newcastle areas. We will do this accurately and quickly and this could save you up to $1200 so it\u2019s well worth giving us a call to find out.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How much does a heat pump cost?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

Like any major household system, prices can vary dramatically. They also change all the time as do govt rebates. Prices can start from as little as $500 up to $3000 but don\u2019t worry as CDL will be giving you an accurate quote on the system that best fits your needs<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How long does a heat pump last?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

They have about the same lifespan as an electric boiler which is about 10 - 15 years (compared to about 10 years for a gas boiler)<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Are heat pumps easy to install?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

Yes, as they usually sit outside there is less installation time required which reduces the overall cost<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What are the downsides to a heat pump?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

All hot water and heating systems have pros and cons so no one solution is 100% perfect. With a heat pump, the disadvantages are mainly two-fold.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The first is that in very cold temperatures they become less efficient and so require more electricity (but still hugely more efficient than any other system.
\u2022 The second is that if the air filter becomes clogged or blocked it can quickly render the system useless but simple care and maintenance will easily avoid this issue (aircon systems have the same issue).
\u2022 The last issue is cost, the relatively high upfront cost is more than gas or electric systems but the reduction in energy bills more than makes up for this, especially considering current price rises and the 15-year lifespan of a heat pump<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What is the installation cost of a heat pump?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

CDL have a very competitive fixed price cost of just $660 (inc GST)<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1185"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1185"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1185\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1551,"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1185\/revisions\/1551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
