Sustainable Hot Water for Your Home or Business

Traditional water heaters are notorious energy guzzlers, often accounting for the largest portion of your quarterly utility bills. By upgrading to a high-efficiency heat pump or a roof-mounted solar system, you can draw free, ambient energy from the Western Australian climate to heat your water naturally.

Mindarie Plumbing & Gas help you select the perfect renewable system based on your roof space, daily water usage, and budget. We manage the entire installation process, ensuring all plumbing and electrical connections are perfectly integrated and fully compliant with state regulations.

Ready to slash your water heating bills? Call our local team today.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a reticulation contractor, we are always looking for reliable plumbers to work with.

We had a client in Burns Beach who noticed water leaking down their driveway while they were overseas on holiday. After seeing it on their CCTV, it became an urgent priority to have it fixed as soon as possible.

We were initially called out, as it was assumed to be an issue with the reticulation system. However, upon inspection, we quickly identified a leak in the copper pipe coming off the water meter.

We contacted Brett from Mindarie Plumbing and Gas and sent through some photos. Brett was able to provide a prompt estimate and arrange a time to attend the property in Burns Beach.

He quickly repaired the leaking copper pipe near the water meter, and upon completion, sent through photos, giving us peace of mind that the issue had been resolved.

Outstanding service from a reliable local plumber. We highly recommend Brett and the team at Mindarie Plumbing and Gas for any plumbing work in Burns Beach and surrounding areas.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always have scrutiny with any trade that you call in an emergency. Absolute gentleman. Charged us reasonably the whole way through. Didn’t ask for a review which means all of his reviews are organic. Probably the first review I’ve gone out of my way to make which speaks volumes about Brett.

Frequently Asked Questions

How exactly does a heat pump hot water system work?

A heat pump operates very similarly to your household refrigerator or air conditioner, but in reverse. Instead of using traditional electrical elements to generate heat directly, it uses a small amount of electricity to power a compressor and a fan, which draws in warm ambient air from the surrounding outdoor environment.

This captured heat is then transferred into a refrigerant gas, compressed to increase its temperature significantly, and passed through a heat exchanger to warm the water stored inside the tank. Because it moves existing heat rather than creating it from scratch, a heat pump is incredibly efficient, often using up to seventy percent less energy than a standard electric water heater.

Do solar hot water systems still work on cloudy days or during winter?

Yes, modern solar hot water systems are designed to provide reliable hot water year-round, even when the Western Australian sun isn't shining brightly. The roof-mounted collectors are highly sensitive and can still absorb diffuse solar radiation through heavy cloud cover to pre-heat the water in the storage tank.

For extended periods of heavy rain or overcast winter weather, every solar hot water system we install is equipped with an automatic gas or electric booster. This booster seamlessly kicks in only when the solar contribution isn't quite enough to reach your required temperature, ensuring you never have to endure a freezing shower on a cold July morning.

Are heat pumps noisy to run?

Older generations of heat pumps had a reputation for being somewhat loud, but modern systems have advanced significantly in their acoustic design. Today's premium units operate at a noise level comparable to a standard split-system air conditioner's outdoor compressor, humming quietly in the background while they heat your water.

To ensure the system never disturbs your household or your neighbours, we carefully consider the installation location during our initial site assessment. We aim to position the unit away from bedroom windows and property boundary lines, taking full advantage of the ambient heat while keeping the acoustic footprint to an absolute minimum.

What is the difference between a close-coupled and a split solar hot water system?

A close-coupled solar system is the traditional setup where the heavy storage tank is mounted directly on the roof, sitting immediately above the solar collector panels. This design is highly efficient because the heated water naturally rises into the tank without needing a circulation pump, but it does require a roof structure strong enough to support the significant weight of a full water cylinder.

A split system, on the other hand, keeps the heavy storage tank firmly on the ground, with only the slimline solar collector panels mounted up on the roof. A small, energy-efficient pump circulates water between the ground tank and the roof panels. This is often the preferred choice for modern homes as it looks much sleeker and places zero structural strain on your roof trusses.

Am I eligible for government rebates if I upgrade to a heat pump or solar system?

In most cases, yes. The Australian government actively encourages homeowners and businesses to transition to renewable energy sources by offering Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs). Both heat pumps and solar hot water systems generate these certificates based on their energy efficiency and the geographical zone of your property.

These STCs essentially act as an upfront point-of-sale discount, significantly reducing the initial purchase price of your new system. Because our team is fully licensed and our installations meet all strict Australian standards, your upgrade will be fully eligible for these financial incentives, making the switch to renewable hot water much more affordable.
