Built to Handle Real Aussie Weather

From 40°C Adelaide Heatwaves to Freezing Melbourne Mornings

Unlike many overseas systems, the Reclaim heat pump is designed in Australia for Australian weather. With an operating range from -10°C to 43°C, it thrives in conditions where other units falter.

In Glenelg, Norwood or the Adelaide Hills:

Reclaim keeps running even during extreme summer temperatures

No shutdowns, no overheating, no electric booster required

“We had four days above 40°C in Prospect and our Reclaim didn’t skip a beat.” — James, SA

In Doncaster, Berwick or Mount Dandenong:

Maintains output even on frosty winter mornings

Avoids the common fallback of electric boosting in cold climates

“We used to run out of hot water by 7am. With Reclaim, it’s warm every morning—even in July.” — Raj, Glen Waverley VIC

Store excess solar power as hot water

Schedule boosts and usage around your energy plan

“With our 6.6kW solar in Goodwood, we haven’t used grid power for hot water in months.” — Kylie, SA homeowner
