Swimming pools, heated properly.

A pool heat pump keeps the water comfortable for months longer each season, at a fraction of what an element heater costs to run. We supply, size, install, repair and service pool heat pumps across Johannesburg.

The Legacy Standard

Professional standards, written into every job.

A heat pump is only as good as its installation. These are the commitments we hold ourselves to on every site, from a single domestic unit to commercial plant.

Fig. 02 — Brazed jointsPressure tested

Pipework is insulated, supported and labelled. Pressure testing and electrical checks happen before handover — not after a call-back.

  1. 01

    Qualified, accountable technicians

    Every job is carried out by a trained technician who signs off their own work — no sub-contracted guesswork.

  2. 02

    Compliant installation

    Isolators, electrical connections and refrigerant handling are done to SANS practice, with the paperwork to match.

  3. 03

    Written quotes, no surprises

    You approve a full scope and price — equipment, labour and materials shown separately — before we lift a tool.

  4. 04

    Correct sizing first

    We calculate the load for the space instead of selling the biggest unit on the shelf. Oversized systems cost more to run.

  5. 05

    Workmanship guarantee

    If something we installed is not right, we come back and make it right. That is what a legacy standard means.

  6. 06

    Clean, explained handover

    Pipework and trunking finished neatly, site cleaned, and the system walked through with you before we leave.

Why a heat pump

Move the heat. Don't make it.

A heat pump does not burn electricity to create heat — it moves existing heat from the outside air into your water or building. That is why the same hot water costs a fraction of what an element heater costs to produce.

3–4×

Heat delivered per unit of electricity

Typical coefficient of performance for a correctly sized air-source heat pump.

Up to 60%

Less electricity than element heating

Measured against conventional resistive geyser and heater elements.

365

Days of reliable hot water

Units are specified for Johannesburg's cold, dry winter mornings — not only summer.

Figures are typical for a correctly installed air-source heat pump. Actual savings depend on the building, usage patterns and your electricity tariff.

Workmanship

Fitted the way it should look in ten years.

Neat pipework, level brackets, accessible service points. The details you notice on handover are the same details that keep a system reliable long after we have left.

Questions

Straight answers before you commit.

What Johannesburg homeowners and property managers ask us most about heat pumps, installation and servicing.

What does a heat pump installation cost in Johannesburg?

Cost depends on the system size, the building's existing plumbing or electrical infrastructure and the route of the pipework. We survey first, then issue a written quote with equipment, labour and materials itemised so you can see exactly what you are paying for.

Do heat pumps work in Johannesburg's winter?

Yes. Air-source heat pumps are built to run in low ambient temperatures and perform through Joburg's cold, dry winter mornings. We specify units rated for local conditions rather than warmer coastal climates.

How long does an installation take?

Most domestic installations are completed within a day. Larger or more complex sites — multiple units, long pipe runs or commercial plant — take longer, and your quote states the expected duration.

How often should a heat pump be serviced?

Once a year for most homes and twice a year for hard-working commercial systems. Regular servicing keeps efficiency up and keeps the manufacturer's warranty valid.

Do you repair heat pumps you did not install?

Yes. We diagnose and repair most makes and models, including systems installed by other contractors. Send us the model plate details on WhatsApp and we will tell you what we expect to find.

Do you supply the equipment as well as install it?

Yes. Supply and installation are handled as one accountable job, so there is a single point of responsibility for the equipment and the fit — not two companies pointing at each other.

Which areas around Johannesburg do you cover?

We work across greater Johannesburg and Gauteng, including Sandton, Bryanston, Fourways, Randburg, Rosebank, Midrand, Northcliff, Roodepoort, Edenvale, Kempton Park, Bedfordview, Alberton, Soweto, Centurion and Pretoria.

Can I send a photo on WhatsApp instead of calling?

Please do. Send a photo of the unit, its model plate and the pipework to 064 008 0570 on WhatsApp, and our team will come back to you with the likely fault and the next step.

Can a heat pump heat my swimming pool?

Yes. A pool heat pump moves heat from the outside air into the pool water, which makes it the most efficient way to extend your swimming season. We size the unit to your pool volume, how much sun it gets and whether you want an extended season or year-round swimming.

Do you repair and service pool heat pumps?

We do, including units installed by other pool companies. The common faults are flow and pressure errors, fan and compressor problems, control boards and coils that have not been cleaned. A pre-summer service is worth booking before the season starts.
