Pricing guide

What drives cost is mainly the type of system and how much labour, access and consumables are required. Ducted or multi‑head systems and pool heat pumps typically take more time or need different materials, while after‑hours attendance or major repairs usually increase the final price and are quoted separately.

  • System type and complexity

    Ducted and multi‑head systems are usually more labour‑intensive than a single standard unit.

  • Number of indoor/outdoor units

    More units generally increase on‑site time because each unit typically needs inspection and service.

  • Access and required equipment

    Attic, ceiling or awkward outdoor locations can add time and may require separate access equipment that is quoted separately.

  • Consumables and pool materials

    Pool heat pumps often need corrosion‑tolerant consumables (such as anodes) and different chemicals, affecting materials used.

  • Timing and after‑hours attendance

    After‑hours or weekend attendance is typically charged at a higher rate and will usually increase the visit cost.

Frequently asked questions

Do heat pump technicians need a licence?
Yes — licensing for heat pump installers is mandatory. It's sensible to ask to see the installer’s licence or registration before work begins.
What does a routine heat pump service include?
A routine service typically covers labour and standard consumable items for basic inspection and maintenance. It generally excludes major repairs or refrigerant leak diagnosis, which are usually quoted separately.
How long does a service visit take?
Simple single‑unit services usually take less time than ducted or multi‑head systems. Systems requiring attic/ceiling access or multiple units will typically need a longer visit.
What if the technician finds a major fault?
If a major repair (for example compressor failure, leak or significant electrical fault) is found, the technician will usually provide a separate repair quote. Work beyond the routine service is typically only carried out after you approve the additional quote.
How accurate is the instant estimate?
Our estimates are built from research across thousands of local jobs and real pricing data. Use them as a guide when speaking to heat pump installers — your actual quote will depend on your specific job.
