Split system, heat pump or both?

A reverse cycle split system heats and cools a room, turning one unit of electricity into 3 to 6 units of heat. A heat pump hot water system heats your water the same way, using 55 to 80% less energy than gas or a standard electric tank.

Many homes moving off gas do both, as the ACT has stopped new gas connections. Each needs its own circuit and switchboard space, so plan them together. Sustainable Household Scheme loans at 3% cover both for most households, and Home Energy Support rebates help eligible concession card holders.

I needed a power point and some light switches replaced recently and having used Fused Electrical last year and happy with their service, I contacted them again. Nick, as ever, responded promptly and once again, completed the work expertly and quickly.

Hi Folks, i had a circuit breaker continually tripping and thus no powerpoints working. Nicolas skilffully trouble shooted the whole thing, and worked with remarkable speed and professionaliam. I thought i had identified all the powerpoints, but i had missed a critical one on the end of the line, and as fate would have it, the solar hot water pump had a short circuit and was plugged into that one. As i say, nicolas was tops. Being a DIY person i was very interested in his work and he explained it all to me as he went along. The call out cost seemed high, but i have nothing to compare it against. And nicolas more than earned the fee and i was super pleased with the price. His focus was getting the job done without going beyond the callout fee. He made that happen. I will definately use this company again. Great experience.

These guys are the best. Initially they came over to put a couple of power points in my bedroom then they ended up installing the TV on the wall. Their second visit was to change all of my light fitting to down lights and fans in the bedrooms. And also updated the meter box to make it compliant. They’ve done a fantastic job. So reliable and efficient. Lovely guys and their work is amazing. I would recommend them 100%.

I am very impressed with Nick at Fused electrical on the recent solar installation . There are a few reasons for this:
They are on time;
Their quote was the best value for money;
Their work is neat and tidy, leaving the site clean;
They explain the installation as well as setting up the app for monitoring;
And, they are friendly and knowledgeable.
I am very happy with the quality and performance of their work and the company.

I can’t speak highly enough of the job Nick and Andre did for me. They updated the power box, installed cameras front and back and removed my gas stovetop and replaced it with an induction cooktop. Highly recommend Fusion Electical.

Nic and Andrea installed and set to work a 10kW, 1P 32kW SigStore battery on Friday last week with full backup. From start to finish Nic was professional and friendly and it was so good know the guy doing the selling also does the install! Cable management is professional and switchboard upgrade super neat. Really impressed.

We heard about Fused from Facebook and chose them for our solar and battery install (Aiko 14kw and 32kwh Sig). Nick came out to the house, gave us a personalised quote and made changes as requested. He explained every part of the quote and the timeline was great for us.
The system is flawless, we have been off-grid since and love being able to use power anytime we want!

There is a reason they have so many 5-star reviews, and we have recommended them to friends and family.
Thank you guys!

How a split system or heat pump install works

  1. Tell us what you want heated or cooled

    Send us the rooms, a photo of your switchboard and your current heater or hot water system. If you are moving off gas, list every gas appliance you plan to replace.

  2. Switchboard check and sizing

    We check the board has space and capacity for each new circuit, and size split systems for Canberra winters as well as summer. Plan every circuit at once so the board is only upgraded once.

  3. Fixed-price quote

    You get one fixed price covering the units, circuits, isolators and any switchboard work, before anything starts.

  4. Installation

    The units go in, and each gets a dedicated circuit with safety switch protection. Split systems get a lockable isolator next to the outdoor unit, as AS/NZS 3000 requires.

  5. Testing, certificate and handover

    We test everything, issue your Certificate of Electrical Safety and set timers and controls with you, such as running a heat pump through the middle of the day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should a split system cost to install in Canberra?
It depends on the size and brand of the unit, how far the outdoor unit sits from the indoor unit, the cable run from your switchboard and whether the board has room for a new circuit. Older boards with ceramic fuses or no spare space can need work first. We look at the job and give you a free fixed-price quote.
What size split system do I need in Canberra?
It depends on the room size, insulation, windows and which way the room faces. In Canberra, size for winter heating as well as summer cooling, and compare models on the cold zone rating of the Zoned Energy Rating Label. An undersized unit runs flat out and still leaves you cold.
Do I need a switchboard upgrade for a split system or heat pump?
Not always. Each split system and heat pump needs its own circuit with safety switch protection, so the board needs space and capacity for it. Boards with ceramic fuses, no spare positions or no safety switches may need an upgrade. If you are adding several units or an EV charger, plan them together and upgrade once.
How much does it cost to install a heat pump hot water system in Canberra?
The price depends on the unit and tank size, whether it is all-in-one or split, where it goes, whether you are replacing gas or an electric tank, and your switchboard. Federal certificates are normally taken off the price, and ACT loans and rebates can help. We give you a free fixed-price quote after looking at the job.
What are the disadvantages of heat pump hot water?
They cost more upfront than a basic electric or gas tank, make some fan and compressor noise, and heat more slowly on frosty mornings. In Canberra, choose a cold climate model that keeps heating below zero without leaning on its backup element, and run it in the warmest part of the day.
What is the hot water rebate program in Canberra?
Eligible concession card holders who own and live in their home can apply for a Home Energy Support rebate of 50% of the supply and install cost of a hot water heat pump, up to $2,500. Other eligible homeowners can borrow through the Sustainable Household Scheme at 3%. Schemes change, so check the current rules.
How does ducted air conditioning benefit my home?
Ducted systems provide even heating and cooling throughout your home from one system, with the indoor unit hidden in the roof space and only discreet vents in each room. Zoning lets you heat or cool just the rooms you are using, and modern inverter systems run quietly and efficiently.
What makes underfloor heating an attractive option?
Underfloor heating gives an even, gentle warmth across the floor without changing how your room looks. Under tile heating is a practical addition to a bathroom or other tiled area, and the best time to install it is when you are getting new tiles laid.
