Sunrise over the Australian landscape

Everything Your Home Needs.Nothing You Don't.

A complete hydronic heat pump replacement: the heat pump, thermal storage and intelligent controls. From $12,000 for the equipment; installation depends on the house. Installed by your own licensed installer. Here's exactly what you get.

One System. Complete Comfort.

Thermal Dawn is a complete replacement for your gas boiler, not a component you need to spec, source, and coordinate separately. Everything arrives together as one integrated kit, ready for your licensed installer to fit.

What's Included

From $12,000 for the equipment; installation depends on the house. Installed by your own licensed installer.

The equipment price includes the heat pump, the Australian-made thermal store, the controller and app, with delivery included (remote locations carry a delivery cost). It doesn't include installation, electrical work or pipework: your installer quotes those, and you pay them directly. Commissioning is done remotely, with your installer on site.

At the heart of it is the heavily insulated store, 25 kWh of heat in the 500L launch tank, banking your cheapest energy as heat and running your home through the evening with the heat pump off through the expensive hours. It fits in a utility room, garage, or outside in a weatherproof enclosure, and it's built to last decades.

Hot water can run off the same system as an optional add-on, so one gas line gets capped instead of two. Here's how it all fits around what your home already has:

Interactive: switch between Gas Boiler and Thermal Dawn, and select any component to see what happens to it.

Heat. Cool. Hot water. Pool. One Thermal Dawn system.

Home Heating

Through your existing radiators and underfloor circuits, exactly as before. Just no gas bill.

Home Cooling

Thermal Dawn can run in reverse cycle to cool your home in summer, through hydronic underfloor cooling or fan coil units. It's in development and we quote it per home.

Hot Water

One system, one gas line capped instead of two, one company. Hot water is an optional add-on, worth raising at your site assessment.

Pool Heating

Already have a pool? Thermal Dawn can extend to pool heating, keeping your water at temperature using stored solar, not gas or a separate electric heater at peak rates.

One system can cover all of these. Your site assessment maps out which of them make sense for your home.

Installed by Your Own Licensed Installer.

Thermal Dawn is installed by your own licensed installer: a hydronic heating professional who understands both the hydronic side and the electrical requirements of a heat pump system. Installation isn't part of the equipment price. Your installer quotes it, and you pay them directly.

What installation involves

Placing the thermal store in the agreed location, placing the heat pump, connecting and pressure-testing the hydronic pipework, the electrical connection and switchboard check, setting up the smart controls and app, a full system test across all zones, and a walkthrough with you.

Warranty

Comprehensive coverage across all components, details confirmed with your quote. Because Thermal Dawn uses standard hydronic components, any licensed HVAC technician can service it. No proprietary lock-in.

Compare the Whole Cost,
Not the Headline Numbers.

A premium heat pump replacement without storage typically costs $20,000 to $30,000 installed, and more for large homes.

From $12,000 for the equipment; installation depends on the house.

Installation, electrical work and pipework are by your own licensed installer and priced by them, so compare the whole cost, not the headline numbers.

What Thermal Dawn adds

Controls that learn your home, flow temperatures up to 70°C so existing radiators work, a large Australian-made thermal store, and full system management from the app.

Booking deposit

Nothing more to pay until you accept your proposal. The $990 booking deposit is refundable in full and comes off your system price. No obligation.

What's Included, and What's Not

No surprises. Here's exactly where our price starts and stops.

Included in the equipment price

  • The heat pump, the Australian-made thermal store, the controller and app
  • Delivery included (remote locations carry a delivery cost)
  • Commissioning done remotely with your installer on site

Not included: arranged by you, with your own licensed trades

  • Installation, including connection to your existing hydronic pipework and pressure testing
  • Electrical work, including any switchboard upgrade
  • Capping of your gas line, by a licensed plumber
  • Optional gas-meter disconnection to cut the daily supply charge
  • Any non-standard pipework or additional zones

Licensed gas and electrical work is always carried out by qualified, licensed tradespeople, whom you engage directly. Your site assessment flags what your home needs, so your installer can quote it before you commit.

Already Got a Quote? Here's How to Compare It.

Most people who talk to us are holding a quote from someone else. That's a good position to be in, but the quotes are rarely comparing the same thing. Before you weigh price against price, check what each one actually covers:

  • Does it include storage? A heat pump without thermal storage heats on demand, which means it draws power at the exact hours power costs the most. Same comfort, very different running cost.
  • Does it include hot water? Often quoted separately, or left on your existing gas unit, which keeps your gas connection and its daily supply charge alive.
  • Does it include ductwork or new emitters? Worth asking directly. Ducted quotes in particular can carry significant work that isn't obvious in the headline number.
  • Is the price fixed? Ask whether switchboard work, pipework changes and access are inside the number or flagged as variations later.

We're happy to look at a quote you've been given and tell you what it does and doesn't cover, even if you go with it. Send it through with your quote request, or bring it to the assessment.

The Real Cost of Staying on Gas.

Gas network charges have risen consistently for a decade and there's no credible scenario where gas gets cheaper. Every year you stay on gas locks in that trajectory.

The whole evening ran on heat bought at midday prices.

How they compare

Compared Stay on gas Standard heat pump (no storage) Thermal Dawn
Gas connection Yes No No
Heat for the evening, bought at midday or off-peak prices No No: it heats when you need it, at dawn and dusk Yes: it stores the day's heat
Follows your solar, battery and cheapest power window No Timer at best Yes, automatically. Connects to Home Assistant

What it costs to run

Your running cost depends mostly on three things: your electricity tariff, whether you have solar, and whether your plan has a free or cheap window. A thermal store lets the heat pump make heat when power is cheapest and keep it for the evening, when power costs most. Every home is different, so we estimate yours from your own bills.

Frequently asked questions

What determines the equipment price?

From $12,000 for the equipment; installation depends on the house. Installation, electrical work and pipework are by your own licensed installer and aren't in that price. We check what your home needs before you commit.

When do I pay, and is the deposit refundable?

A $990 booking deposit, including GST, holds a place in our build schedule. It is refundable in full, for any reason, until we place the production order that includes your system, and it is credited against your system price when you accept your proposal. You pay nothing further until then. The detail is on the booking page and in the Booking Terms and Conditions.

What's included, and what's extra?

See "What's Included, and What's Not" above. In short: the heat pump, thermal store, controller and app are included, with delivery (remote locations carry a delivery cost) and remote commissioning with your installer on site. Installation, electrical work, pipework, gas-line capping and optional gas-meter disconnection are arranged by you, with your own licensed trades.
