Drouin's Local Plumber
West Gippsland based team
Drouin (postcode 3818) falls in a regional Victorian STC zone, so your hot water rebate is worth more than the identical system installed in metro Melbourne. With Drouin's older housing stock and a high share of electric storage units, most households are prime candidates for an upgrade.
We install across Drouin, Drouin West, Jindivick, Longwarry and Bunyip — from 1970s brick homes on original electric storage tanks to newer estates where a heat pump makes the most sense.

Drouin sits colder than Warragul on average, and frosts are common from April through October. The wrong heat pump will struggle — and cost you more to run.

Models proven to run efficiently below 0°C — essential for Drouin mornings.
Frost protection & boost element
Never wake up to a cold shower on a frosty July morning.
Sized for your household
We assess bathrooms, occupants and usage — not just swap the old tank.
Correct airflow siting
Poor placement is the #1 cause of heat pump complaints. We get it right.

Drouin (3818) is in a regional Victorian STC zone, so eligible households can claim up to $700 on a heat pump or solar hot water system. The exact figure depends on system size, and whether you're decommissioning an old gas or electric unit (which can add extra certificates). We confirm the number at your free site visit.
No — Drouin is local to us, so there's no travel or call-out charge for rebate assessments or quotes. That covers Drouin, Drouin West, Jindivick, Longwarry, Bunyip, Neerim South and Warragul.
Yes, with the right unit. Drouin gets frosty from April to October, so we only specify cold-climate rated heat pumps with frost protection and an electric boost element. Cheap warm-climate units sold online often perform poorly here — we'll explain the difference before you buy.
Very often yes. Older electric storage units are the biggest hot water energy users in the home. Replacing one with a heat pump typically cuts hot water running costs by 60–70%, and because the old unit is decommissioned you may gain additional STC value on top of the standard rebate. We'll run the numbers for your tariff during the assessment.
We're close enough that emergency replacements in Drouin are usually attended the same or next day. Standard (non-urgent) installs are typically booked within 3–5 days and completed in a single day.
Fill in your details and we'll call you back with your rebate amount and a fixed price — usually within one business hour.
