Are heat pumps efficient in Jabiru's climate?
Jabiru has a mild temperate climate with cool winters. Heat pumps work well in this climate zone but will see some efficiency reduction during cold winter mornings (below 5C).

How long does a heat pump installation take in Jabiru?

Regional installations may require scheduling 2-4 weeks ahead.
What size heat pump do I need for my Jabiru home?
For Jabiru in climate zone 1: 1-2 people need a 150-170L tank, 3-4 people need a 250-315L tank, and 5+ people should consider a 315-400L tank. Your warmer climate means the heat pump recovers quickly, so standard sizing works well.
