What is the heat pump bulk buy?
PLEASE NOTE: The bulk buy closed on 5 March 2024.
Electrify Bundeena has been offered two separate bulk buy prices, on the following three heat pump models. We make no money from this, but wanted to help with a decent short list of heat pumps. Your purchase legally is between you and the installer, we have just facilitated better pricing.
You have the option to order one NOW at a wholesale price (with a discount of up to 25%) or you can join a bulk buy, where an even better price is offered if we get 20+ orders. The additional savings from the bulk buy are achieved by reducing delivery costs. If we get 20+ units, it is one full truck and a better deal. However, waiting till we have 20 orders could take time – and we may not get 20 orders – if we don’t, we will be in touch.
This Bulk Buy is open to residents of the Sutherland Shire only.

Premium High-End Models
Reclaim REHP-CO2-400SST
(CO2 Heat Pump, 400L SS tank, with V2 Controller)
This unit is good if you have a hot water system inside but need the compressor outside. See their website https://reclaimenergy.com.au/products/residential
A Smart Controller puts the control in your hands and ensures that the Reclaim Energy CO2 Heat Pump Hot Water System provides a highly efficient, low operating cost hot water solution. The controller allows the customisation of how and when the hot water system works. For example, you might decide to heat your hot water between 10am and 3pm with your solar rooftop electricity.
Reclaim REHP-CO2-315SST
(CO2 Heat Pump, 315L SS tank, with V2 Controller)
The Reclaim Energy CO2 Heat Pump with an average of 3 kWh electric input for a 315 L hot water delivery (i.e. as opposed to 15 kWh electric input requirement of electric element tanks for 315 L hot water delivery) is like having a virtual battery for your home. It is designed to consume excess PV during peak sun hours to maximise savings and take advantage of the energy already created rather than exporting it back to the grid. Described as the quietest system on the market with an average noise level of 37dB. It also is a split system.
