Reclaim Energy Heat Pump Hot Water Systems
Reclaim Energy is a premium heat pump hot water brand with two distinct
residential system styles: high-efficiency CO₂ split systems and the
newer Reclaim ECO R290 all-in-one heat pumps. JR Gas & Water supplies and
installs Reclaim Energy systems across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and
eligible South East Queensland service areas.
The Reclaim CO₂ range separates the heat-pump unit from the hot water
storage cylinder and is available with multiple tank capacities and tank
constructions. The Reclaim ECO range combines the heat pump and storage
cylinder into one integrated unit for a simpler all-in-one layout.
That gives Reclaim buyers more to consider than capacity alone. The main
decisions include CO₂ split versus R290 all-in-one, tank size, glass-lined
versus stainless-steel storage where available, installation layout,
household hot water demand and budget.

Comparing a 200L ECO all-in-one with a 400L stainless-steel CO₂ split system
is not a like-for-like comparison. Capacity, tank construction, refrigerant
technology and installation layout all affect the price.
Reclaim CO₂ vs Reclaim ECO R290 Heat Pumps
Reclaim Energy now offers two different residential heat-pump approaches.
The established Reclaim CO₂ range uses a separate heat-pump unit and storage
cylinder, while the newer Reclaim ECO R290 models integrate the heat pump
and tank into one unit.
Reclaim CO₂ Split System
The Reclaim CO₂ range uses carbon dioxide as the refrigerant and
separates the heat-pump compressor unit from the storage cylinder. This
gives more flexibility in positioning the heat-pump unit away from the
tank and allows customers to choose between several tank capacities and
constructions.
This is the premium Reclaim configuration commonly chosen by households
prioritising high efficiency, low operating noise at the heat-pump unit
and flexible system design.
From
Reclaim ECO R290 All-In-One
The Reclaim ECO range combines the refrigeration system and storage tank
into a single integrated unit and uses R290 refrigerant.
The all-in-one layout simplifies the physical system design and gives
customers a lower-priced entry point into the Reclaim Energy range while
retaining heat-pump efficiency and smart-control capability.
From
Reclaim ECO All-In-One Heat Pumps
The Reclaim ECO all-in-one range provides a more conventional integrated
heat-pump layout, with the refrigeration equipment mounted with the storage
cylinder rather than positioned separately.
Reclaim ECO 200L
The Reclaim ECO 200L is the compact all-in-one model and can suit
smaller to medium households wanting Reclaim heat-pump technology
without the larger footprint of a 300L system.
From
Reclaim ECO 300L
The Reclaim ECO 300L provides greater stored capacity and is better
suited to medium and larger households with heavier daily hot water
demand.
From
Reclaim CO₂ Heat Pump Tank Sizes
One of the advantages of the Reclaim CO₂ split system is the range of
storage capacities available. Current JR products span smaller household
systems through to high-capacity 400L configurations, subject to current
stock and model availability.
Reclaim CO₂ 160L
Compact CO₂ split-system capacity for smaller households and lower daily
hot water demand.
From
Reclaim CO₂ 250L
Mid-size Reclaim CO₂ option for households wanting more stored water
without moving to the larger 315L or 400L tanks.
From
Reclaim CO₂ 315L
A popular family-size capacity providing substantial stored hot water
while retaining the premium Reclaim CO₂ split-system configuration.
From
Reclaim CO₂ 400L
The largest common residential Reclaim capacity for larger households
and homes with high peak or daily hot water demand.
From
Reclaim Glass-Lined vs Stainless Steel Tanks
Reclaim CO₂ systems can be paired with different storage-cylinder
constructions. JR's current range includes glass-lined and selected
stainless-steel tank options.
A glass-lined tank uses a protective internal lining over the steel
cylinder, while the stainless-steel range uses stainless construction.
Purchase price, water quality requirements, warranty conditions, tank weight
and available size all need to be considered when comparing them.
Reclaim Glass-Lined
Generally provides the lower-priced entry into the premium Reclaim CO₂
split range and is available across several capacities.
From
Reclaim Stainless Steel
The premium tank pathway within the Reclaim CO₂ range for customers
specifically wanting stainless-steel cylinder construction.

How Efficient Is a Reclaim Energy Heat Pump?
Reclaim Energy heat pumps are designed to move several units of heat energy
into the water for each unit of electrical energy consumed by the heat-pump
system. This is why heat pump hot water can use substantially less purchased
electricity than conventional resistance electric storage.
JR's current Reclaim CO₂ product specifications list high coefficient of
performance figures on several models, while the newer ECO all-in-one range
also uses heat-pump technology to reduce direct electrical water-heating
demand.
Actual household electricity use depends on hot water demand, ambient
temperature, operating schedule, electricity tariff, system settings and
whether the property has solar PV.
Reclaim Energy with Solar PV & Wi-Fi Control
Current Reclaim systems include smart-control options that can help
households align water heating with preferred electricity periods,
including daytime solar generation.
Heating water during periods of excess rooftop solar can increase
self-consumption by converting some otherwise exported electricity into
stored thermal energy for later use.
Wi-Fi and controller features vary by system configuration, so the exact
controls available should be checked against the selected Reclaim model.
What Size Reclaim Energy Heat Pump Do I Need?
Reclaim Energy offers a particularly broad capacity range, which makes
correct sizing important. Household size is useful as a starting point, but
actual shower habits, baths, appliances and peak-use periods determine the
real hot water requirement.
JR's sizing method uses approximately 40 litres per person per day for light
usage, 50 litres for average usage and 65 litres for higher usage before
matching household demand to an appropriate heat-pump capacity.
Reclaim sizing should not be based on price alone.
A 200L all-in-one, 250L CO₂ system, 315L system and 400L system serve
different household-demand levels. Choose the system that reliably covers
peak use rather than automatically choosing the cheapest or largest model.
Replacing Electric Hot Water with Reclaim Energy
Replacing conventional electric storage is one of the main reasons
homeowners consider Reclaim Energy. Both the CO₂ and ECO ranges retain
stored hot water while changing the primary heating method from direct
electric resistance to heat-pump technology.
The replacement capacity does not necessarily need to match the litre size
of the old electric tank. Household demand, heat-pump recovery, installation
position and the chosen Reclaim configuration should all be considered.
Reclaim Energy Rebates & STCs
Eligible Reclaim Energy heat pump installations can qualify for
Small-scale Technology Certificates, or STCs, where the exact approved
model and installation meet the applicable scheme requirements.
JR currently applies its upfront STC discount pathway to eligible supplied
and installed heat-pump systems, subject to final eligibility and certificate
assignment requirements.
Is Reclaim Energy a Good Heat Pump Hot Water System?
Reclaim Energy is positioned toward the premium end of the residential heat
pump market, particularly with its established CO₂ split-system range.
Reclaim is an Australian-owned engineering company focused on energy-efficient
heat-pump technology for Australian homes and businesses.
The current product range gives customers a choice between premium CO₂
split systems and more accessible ECO R290 all-in-one systems, rather than
forcing every household into the same configuration.
Whether Reclaim represents the right value for a particular home depends on
budget, capacity, expected ownership period, tank preference, installation
design, efficiency goals and the features the homeowner values.
Reclaim Energy Installation Brisbane & Gold Coast
JR Gas & Water supplies and installs eligible Reclaim Energy heat pump
systems throughout Brisbane, the Gold Coast and eligible South East
Queensland service areas.
Reclaim installation requirements vary between the all-in-one and split
ranges. An ECO all-in-one requires appropriate airflow, drainage, electrical
supply, plumbing and base conditions around the integrated system.
A Reclaim CO₂ split installation also requires suitable positioning of the
separate heat-pump unit and storage cylinder, as well as the associated
connections between them.
Where the correct Reclaim capacity, tank type or installation pathway cannot
be confidently selected online, JR can provide an onsite or written quote
before the system is chosen.

What is the difference between Reclaim CO₂ and Reclaim ECO R290?
Reclaim CO₂ systems are split heat pumps with a separate compressor
unit and storage tank, using carbon dioxide as the refrigerant.
Reclaim ECO R290 systems combine the heat pump and tank into an
all-in-one unit and use R290 refrigerant.
They therefore differ in refrigerant technology, physical layout,
tank choices and purchase price.
Is Reclaim CO₂ better than the Reclaim ECO all-in-one?
Neither is automatically better for every home. The CO₂ system is the
premium split-system pathway and provides greater flexibility around
tank selection and component positioning. The ECO range offers a
simpler all-in-one configuration and a lower entry price.
Should I choose a Reclaim glass-lined or stainless-steel tank?
The choice depends on budget, available capacity, local water
conditions, warranty requirements and tank preference. Stainless steel
sits at the premium end of the range, while glass-lined tanks provide
a lower-priced pathway into the Reclaim CO₂ system.
What size Reclaim Energy system do I need?
The correct size depends on household hot water demand rather than
brand alone. Reclaim options currently span compact systems through to
400L storage configurations, allowing smaller and larger households to
be matched more closely to their actual usage.
Is a Reclaim 315L or 400L better?
A 400L tank provides more stored hot water, but it is only preferable
where the household needs the additional capacity. A correctly sized
315L system can be a better fit for many family homes because there is
no benefit in paying for unnecessary storage capacity.
Is Reclaim Energy suitable for solar PV?
Yes. Reclaim Energy heat pumps can be scheduled around daytime solar
generation so that more rooftop solar can be used for water heating
rather than exported. The exact control options depend on the selected
Reclaim system and controller.
How quiet is a Reclaim Energy heat pump?
Reclaim's CO₂ split systems are designed for quiet operation, with
current JR specifications listing low operating sound levels on
several models. Actual perceived noise also depends on the installation
location, nearby walls and neighbouring or sleeping areas.
Can Reclaim Energy replace electric hot water?
Yes. Replacing conventional electric storage is one of the common
applications for Reclaim Energy heat pumps. Capacity, electrical
supply, plumbing, drainage, airflow and installation layout should be
checked before selecting the replacement.
JR's
Electric to Heat Pump Hot Water guide
covers the changeover in more detail.
Is Reclaim Energy eligible for STCs or rebates?
Eligible Reclaim Energy heat pumps can qualify for Small-scale
Technology Certificates where the exact model and installation meet
the scheme requirements. Eligibility and incentive values should be
confirmed for the specific installation.
JR's
Hot Water Rebates Queensland
page explains the current incentive pathway.
How long is the Reclaim Energy warranty?
Reclaim Energy warranty coverage varies between the heat-pump unit,
controller and storage tank, and tank warranties can differ between
product ranges and tank materials. The current warranty for the exact
system should be checked before purchase rather than applying one
warranty period across every Reclaim configuration.
Is Reclaim Energy Australian owned?
Yes. Reclaim Energy describes itself as an Australian-owned
engineering company focused on high-efficiency heat-pump technology
for Australian residential and commercial applications.
Can JR install Reclaim Energy in Brisbane?
Yes. JR Gas & Water supplies and installs eligible Reclaim Energy heat
pump systems throughout its Brisbane service area.
Can JR install Reclaim Energy on the Gold Coast?
Yes. Eligible Reclaim Energy heat pumps can be supplied and installed
throughout JR Gas & Water's Gold Coast service area, subject to the
selected system and installation requirements.
Should I repair or replace my Reclaim Energy heat pump?
That depends on the age of the system, warranty status, fault, repair
cost and overall condition. A controller or serviceable component
issue is different from a major heat-pump, refrigeration or tank
failure.
JR's
Hot Water Repairs & Servicing
section provides the available repair pathways.
Can I get a quote before choosing a Reclaim system?
Yes. If you are unsure whether CO₂ or ECO R290, glass-lined or
stainless steel, or which tank capacity is appropriate, you can
request an onsite or written quote
before selecting the system.
