Planning guide · Size the upgrade around busy household routines, not bedroom count alone.
Describe a busy morning
Tell us how many people usually shower around the same time, whether baths are common and which taps are used together. This gives a more useful discussion than a room count by itself. For whole-home filtration, ask how the selected model’s flow and pressure requirements relate to your planned use. For hot water, discuss tank capacity and recovery rather than choosing on appearance.
Bring energy information to the heat pump conversation
If you have solar, a controlled-load arrangement or a time-of-use tariff, have the relevant information available. Ask whether the proposed system’s controls suit that arrangement. Do not assume a daytime setting or an existing circuit will be appropriate without checking household demand and the installation requirements. Any running-cost comparison should state its assumptions.
Choose the order of your upgrades
You can assess kitchen drinking water independently of whole-home treatment. If filtration and a heat pump are planned together, ask for a clearly itemised scope so you understand the costs and maintenance of each. The filtration offer includes a hot water unit flush and clean subject to suitability; it should not be confused with a separate hot water system replacement.
Have these ready for your enquiry
- A summary of peak shower and bath use
- Current hot water model and energy arrangement
- Your priority: drinking water, all taps or hot water energy use
Should I buy the largest available unit?
Not automatically. Ask why a capacity or flow rating suits your household and what assumptions were used. Compare the model’s requirements with your space and usage.
