Installing a heat pump hot water system or air conditioner involves two trades — a licensed electrician for the wiring and circuits, and a licensed plumber for the installation and commissioning. JBP Electrics handles the electrical side, and we work directly with Veeken Plumbing to coordinate both.
Jarrad's brother runs Veeken Plumbing — licensed plumbers covering hot water systems, gas heating, hydronic heating and air conditioning across Melbourne. The two work together regularly. One call can sort both trades, and they've been working alongside each other for the last 10 years.
Heat pump hot water systems run on electricity and are far more efficient than a standard electric element. Pair one with solar and a battery and you're heating water almost entirely on sunshine.
Most installations need a dedicated electrical circuit — correctly sized, properly wired and signed off with a Certificate of Electrical Safety. We assess what's needed before anything goes in.
Split systems and ducted air conditioning both require a dedicated electrical circuit. Without one, you risk overloading existing circuits and tripping safety switches — especially in older homes.
We handle the electrical side so your air conditioning installer can connect and go. We also assess whether your switchboard can handle the added load.
Call us on 0409 522 647 and describe what you're having installed. We'll assess whether your current switchboard and circuits can handle the load, run the electrical work, and loop in Veeken Plumbing if you need both trades on the same job. No need to find, brief and coordinate two separate tradies yourself.
Most installers expect the electrical circuit to already be in place. That's where we come in.
Heat pumps and air conditioners need their own circuit — not shared with other appliances. We run it correctly from the switchboard.
Older switchboards may not have the capacity for added loads. We check before anything goes in and advise if an upgrade is needed.
All electrical work is certified. Keep it — you'll need it for warranties, insurance and when you sell.
Call Jarrad and we'll coordinate Veeken Plumbing if you need both trades. No double-briefing, no scheduling headaches.
