Our Products and Services
A heat pump is both versatile and energy-efficient. It provides both heating and cooling, making it an ideal choice for all seasons. At HEG, we offer high-quality heat pumps that are designed to maximize energy savings while delivering superior performance.
These systems are perfect for maintaining an optimal indoor temperature, no matter the weather outside. A reverse cycle air conditioner not only cools your home during the summer but also efficiently heats it during the winter, offering a convenient and cost-effective solution for climate control.

Heat Pumps are the most popular form of heating in Tasmania because they can cool and heat, and they cost about 75% LESS to run compared to “traditional” radiant electric heaters.
Heat Pumps come in different forms, with the main ones being (A) wall-mounted, (B) cassette (mounted flush with the ceiling), (C) console (floor mounted), and (D) ducted (hidden away in a roof space or subfloor).
Experienced Heat Pump Consultants
For every installation, we provide free advice on the sizing, location and style of heat pump / air conditioner that is optimal for your home characteristics, budget and home thermal efficiency strategy.
Whilst many companies will simply install a reverse cycle air conditioner (RC-AC) / heat pump in a specific location, HEG™ looks it your home wholistically, present options and isn't afraid to tell you if an idea isn't likely to work e.g. air cons in narrow hallways are a bad idea.
The options that our consultants discuss are based on your household goals e.g. making the house more comfortable, minimising power bills, getting rid of window condensation or keeping the bedrooms warm.
Understanding Defrost Mode in Heat Pumps / Air Cons
During the colder winter months, reverse cycle air conditioners will, at some point during heating operation, perform a “Defrost Cycle”. Some owners feel that this is a fault because it isn’t heating as well as it should, but defrosting is a normal part of the heating operation and is not a fault with the product.
What Is A “Defrost Cycle”?
In heating operation, a reverse cycle air conditioner extracts heat from the air outside and transfers it inside your premises to warm it. Defrosting starts when the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger becomes too low (around 0°C or below) and the moisture in the air starts to freeze on the outdoor unit’s heat exchanger. The sensors in the outdoor unit detect ice has started forming on the heat exchanger and the system starts trying to remove this ice before it builds up. The indoor and outdoor fans will stop, but the compressor keeps running to melt the frost away. This mode continues until the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger rises and the ice melts.
