Should a Karrinyup home move from electric storage to a heat pump?

It can reduce running costs, but suitability depends on clearance, noise, the existing circuit and your usage pattern. We will explain the trade-offs rather than assume it is right for every home.

Is off-peak electric still worth keeping?

For some households it remains reasonable. The comparison depends on your tariff, occupancy and how much hot water is used outside the heating window.

Homes in Karrinyup

Predominantly 1960s to 1980s brick-and-tile homes on decent blocks, with a growing number of rebuilt dwellings. Reticulated gas is widely available.

Installation considerations locally

Most systems sit externally with reasonable clearance, so the practical options are relatively open. Existing electrical circuits and off-peak arrangements should be confirmed before an electric-to-heat-pump change.
