PumpSwap

About PumpSwap

PumpSwap is Australia's independent home electrification marketplace. We cover the four upgrades that take an Australian home off gas and onto cheap electricity: heat pump hot water, solar panels, home battery storage, and EV chargers. We publish modelled installed prices for 2,500+ suburbs across all 8 states and territories, built from published prices and current rebates, calculate every available rebate, and connect homeowners with local installers for free quotes.

Our Mission

The transition from gas to electric is happening across Australia. From 1 March 2027, Victorian law requires a mains gas hot water unit that fails in an existing home to be replaced with an electric one. Limited exemptions apply, for example where there is no room for an electric unit. Nationally, millions more are choosing solar to cut electricity costs.

We built PumpSwap to make this transition easier. Too many homeowners overpay because they don't know the real cost in their area, don't understand the rebates available, or don't get enough quotes to compare.

100% Independent

PumpSwap is not affiliated with any manufacturer, installer, or energy retailer. Our comparisons and recommendations are based on publicly available data, manufacturer specifications, and published market prices. We do not accept payment to rank or recommend any brand. PumpSwap is paid by installers, never by homeowners.

How Our Content Is Made

Installed prices on PumpSwap are modelled from manufacturer and other published prices and the current rebates; rebate figures are checked against the official government sources, and every check is dated. Quotes uploaded by homeowners are being collected so the models can be tested against what people actually pay. Our founder, Josh James, sets the method and checks the figures. See our Editorial Standards for how we research, model prices, and correct errors.
