Everything Your Home Needs.Nothing You Don't.
A complete hydronic heat pump replacement, thermal storage, intelligent controls, and professional installation, for significantly less than a traditional hydronic upgrade. Here's exactly what you get.
Hydronic / Pricing & Inclusions
One System. Complete Comfort.
Thermal Dawn is a complete replacement for your gas boiler, not a component you need to spec, source, and coordinate separately. Everything arrives together, gets installed together, and is commissioned and tested as an integrated system before we leave.
What's Included
The Thermal Store
The heart of the system. An Australian-made, heavily insulated thermal tank stores your solar energy as hot water, ready to heat your home through the evening and overnight without touching the grid. Sized at 35kWh for the launch system, it fits in a utility room, garage, or outside in a weatherproof enclosure. Built to last decades, not years.
Optional add-on: Hot water module
The same thermal store can supply domestic hot water, eliminating your gas hot water system in the same installation. Ask about this during your site assessment.
Heat. Cool. Hot Water. Pool. One Thermal Dawn System.
While we're replacing your boiler, it's worth thinking bigger. Thermal Dawn is a full reverse-cycle hydronic system, the same thermal storage that heats your home in winter can do a lot more.
Home Heating
Through your existing radiators and underfloor circuits, exactly as before. Just no gas bill.
Home Cooling
Thermal Dawn runs in reverse cycle to cool your home in summer. Works with hydronic underfloor cooling or fan coil units. If you don't have cooling today, this is the moment to add it.
Hot Water
The same thermal storage supplies domestic hot water, eliminating your gas hot water system in the same installation.
Pool Heating
Already have a pool? Thermal Dawn can extend to pool heating, keeping your water at temperature using stored solar, not gas or a separate electric heater at peak rates.
Most households can cover all four from a single system. Your site assessment maps out exactly what's possible for your home.
Installed and Commissioned in 1 to 2 Days.
Thermal Dawn is installed by our network of licensed hydronic heating professionals, engineers who understand both the hydronic side and the electrical requirements of heat pump systems. We don't use generalist trades.
What installation covers
Removal and disposal of your existing gas boiler, installation of the thermal store in the agreed location, heat pump placement and commissioning, hydronic pipework connection and pressure testing, electrical connection and switchboard check, smart controls setup and app configuration, full system test across all zones, and a walkthrough with you before we leave.
Timeline
Most homes take one to two days including commissioning and clean-up. Homes with more complex pipework, additional zones, or switchboard upgrades may take a day longer, we flag this in your quote after the site assessment so there are no surprises.
Warranty
Comprehensive coverage across all components, details confirmed with your quote. Because Thermal Dawn uses standard hydronic components, any licensed HVAC technician can service it. No proprietary lock-in.
Significantly Less Than a Traditional Hydronic Upgrade.
With More Capability.
A traditional hydronic heat pump replacement, a standard imported unit, buffer tank, and installation, typically costs $20,000 to $40,000 for an Australian home. That's before intelligent controls, thermal storage, or cooling capability.
Thermal Dawn delivers all of that for a fully installed price well below what the traditional hydronic market charges for a basic boiler swap. We don't publish a single sticker price because every home is different, pipework, placement, electrical, and how many of the four capabilities (heating, cooling, hot water, pool) you want all move the number. What we do instead: give you a fixed installed quote at your free site assessment, with nothing to pay until you approve it.
"We've been looking for 5 years for a hydronic heat pump, but we didn't want to pay $25,000. We finally did it."
Mike & Kay, Hawthorn (our first install)
$20,000–$40,000
Typical traditional hydronic heat pump replacement, imported unit, basic controls, no thermal storage, no cooling.
Thermal Dawn target
Well below traditional market rate, thermal storage, reverse-cycle cooling, AI optimisation, and Australian-made components included.
$0 until you approve
No cost until you approve your fixed quote after your site assessment. Fully refundable $190 reservation. No obligation.
What's Included, and What's Not
No surprises. Here's exactly where our quote starts and stops.
Included in your Thermal Dawn quote
- The thermal store, heat pump, fan coils/controls, and app
- Removal and disposal of your old gas boiler
- Connection to your existing hydronic pipework, pressure testing, and commissioning
- Smart controls setup and a full walkthrough
Not included (and flagged upfront in your quote if you need them)
- Electrical or switchboard upgrades, where required. Use your own electrician or we'll organise one from the trades we work with regularly
- Capping of your gas line, carried out by a licensed plumber
- Optional gas-meter disconnection to cut the daily supply charge
- Any non-standard pipework or additional zones
Licensed gas and electrical work is always carried out by qualified, licensed tradespeople. If you'd like to keep costs down, you can take on the parts that don't need a licence, clearing access, prep, moving and lifting, or arrange your own licensed electrician or plumber for the trade work. Tell us at the assessment and we'll credit back what we can.
Already Got a Quote? Here's How to Compare It.
Most people who talk to us are holding a quote from someone else. That's a good position to be in, but the quotes are rarely comparing the same thing. Before you weigh price against price, check what each one actually covers:
- Does it include cooling? Many hydronic heat pump quotes are heating only. If cooling matters to you, that's a separate system later, at a separate price.
- Does it include storage? A heat pump without thermal storage heats on demand, which means it draws power at the exact hours power costs the most. Same comfort, very different running cost.
- Does it include hot water? Often quoted separately, or left on your existing gas unit, which keeps your gas connection and its daily supply charge alive.
- Does it include ductwork or new emitters? Worth asking directly. Ducted quotes in particular can carry significant work that isn't obvious in the headline number.
- Is the price fixed? Ask whether switchboard work, pipework changes and access are inside the number or flagged as variations later.
We're happy to look at a quote you've been given and tell you what it does and doesn't cover, even if you go with it. Send it through with your quote request, or bring it to the assessment.

The Real Cost of Staying on Gas.
Gas hydronic heating costs the average Australian household $1,657–$1,814 per year in energy alone, according to Sustainability Victoria's 2024 data. Over 15 years that's $25,000 to $27,000 just in running costs, before a single gas price increase.
Gas network charges have risen consistently for a decade and there's no credible scenario where gas gets cheaper. Every year you stay on gas locks in that trajectory.
Thermal Dawn shifts your hydronic heating load to solar energy you've already generated, dropping your annual thermal running costs to near zero for the system's lifetime. Most customers recoup their investment in three to five years, then run on free solar for the next fifteen.
Lifetime Cost Comparison, 15 Years

|---|---|---|---|
| Gas connection needed | Yes | No | No |
| Made in Australia | No | No | Yes |
| Cooling included | No | Depends | Yes |
| Thermal storage | No | No | Yes |
| 15-year running cost | ~$27,000 | ~$10,500 | ~$4,500 |
| System cost | $5–8k (boiler only) | $20–40k | Well below market rate |
| Est. annual running cost | ~$1,800/yr | ~$700/yr (grid) | ~$200–400/yr (solar) |

FAQ
Why don't you show a price on the site?
Because a single number would be misleading. Your installed price depends on your home, pipework, placement, electrical, and how many capabilities (heating, cooling, hot water, pool) you want. We give you a fixed, no-obligation quote at your free site assessment, and you pay nothing until you approve it.
When do I pay, and is the deposit refundable?
A fully refundable $190 reservation holds your place in the queue. You pay nothing further until you approve your fixed quote after the site assessment. No obligation up to that point.
What's the catch with "well below market rate"?
No catch, the saving comes from pre-integrating components at the factory instead of buying them through plumbing wholesalers and assembling on site, plus Australian-made manufacturing. You get thermal storage and cooling a standard heat pump doesn't include, for less than a traditional hydronic upgrade.
What's included, and what's extra?
See "What's Included, and What's Not" above. In short: the system, gas-boiler removal, pipework connection, and commissioning are included; a switchboard upgrade, gas-line capping, and optional gas-meter disconnection are flagged upfront in your quote if your home needs them.
