Deploying advanced thermodynamic engineering optimized for Perth's Mediterranean climate dynamics.
Accelerating the net-zero emission pathway through the electrification of commercial space and water heating in Perth.
Western Australia, and the Perth metropolitan region specifically, is experiencing a fundamental shift in energy systems. Driven by the State Government's Climate Change Action Plan and targets to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, commercial facilities, industrial parks, and multi-residential complexes are aggressively transitioning away from gas fired boilers.
Historically, cheap natural gas from the domestic gas reservation policy dominated space and water heating. However, escalating retail gas tariffs and strict carbon corporate mandates have altered the economics. Commercial air to water heat pumps present an unmatched thermal coefficient of performance (COP) in Perth's unique climate, characterized by cool winters and dry, scorching summers.
Furthermore, Perth's isolated electricity grid—the South West Interconnected System (SWIS)—is witnessing record-high levels of rooftop solar PV penetration. This massive daytime solar generation creates the famous "duck curve" and results in low or even negative wholesale electricity pricing during peak solar window hours (10:00 AM to 3:00 PM). By deploying smart air to water heat pumps as thermal energy storage systems, Perth businesses can run heat pumps during solar peak windows, storing hot water for use during peak evening demand.
Tailoring advanced air source technologies to Western Australian commercial and industrial sectors.
Maintaining optimal temperature in institutional and luxury hotel pools across Perth, Fremantle, and Joondalup. Ambient air heat source extraction provides continuous heat input for swimming pools, offsetting radiative losses without high gas utility expenditures.
Meeting the high, constant sanitary domestic hot water requirements of hospitals and aged care facilities. Systems like the R290 Monoblock run at high temperatures to eliminate Legionella risks while maintaining excellent energy efficiency coefficients.
Providing high-efficiency HVAC solutions for Fly-In Fly-Out (FIFO) mining accommodation villages in the Pilbara and Goldfields. Systems are engineered to withstand extreme regional temperatures (exceeding 45°C) and dust-heavy outdoor conditions.
Delivering climate-controlled hydronic loops for Margaret River and Swan Valley wine production, keeping storage rooms at precise temperatures, and providing warm water washdowns in commercial agricultural operations.
Navigating the transition toward natural refrigerants, smart solar integration, and high-temperature EVI.
Globally, synthetic HFC refrigerants (such as R410A and R134a) are undergoing phase-down procedures due to their high Global Warming Potential (GWP). The Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water enforces strict import quotas on HFCs. As a result, R290 (Propane) has emerged as the definitive natural refrigerant solution. With a GWP of only 3 and Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of 0, R290 systems bypass international regulatory constraints, ensuring long-term equipment viability without phase-out risks. PeakWay’s R290 monobloc designs feature sealed, explosion-proof electronic enclosures and ATEX certification parameters, ensuring safe residential and industrial operation.
Standard heat pumps suffer from output capacity drop-offs when ambient air temperature declines. However, by deploying Enhanced Vapor Injection (EVI) scroll compressors and Full DC Inverter control modules, PeakWay air to water heat pumps maintain exceptional thermal efficiency even under low ambient conditions. In Perth, where overnight winter temperatures can fall below 5°C, EVI technology injects a portion of refrigerant vapor back into the intermediate compression stage, enhancing gas mass flow and boosting heating capacity by up to 20% compared to standard systems.
Future-proof HVAC design requires direct communication between energy generation (Solar PV arrays) and consumers (heat pumps). The integration of Modbus/BMS communication protocols and Smart Grid Ready (SG Ready) features allows the heat pump to monitor real-time power export. When surplus solar energy is generated, the heat pump ramps up to maximum speed to elevate hot water storage tanks to 65°C, effectively storing zero-cost solar power as thermal energy. This strategy minimizes expensive grid import tariffs during peak times.

Why leveraging PeakWay's manufacturing ecosystem provides Perth engineering projects with a major competitive advantage.
The global demand for high-performance air source heat pumps is scaling rapidly, leading to component shortages and long project lead times in Western markets. Zhejiang PeakWay Pump Co., Ltd. circumvents these barriers through a highly integrated, resilient supply chain based in China’s manufacturing hubs.
By maintaining direct procurement pathways for critical raw materials and collaborating with top-tier global compressor and controls manufacturers (such as Panasonic, Mitsubishi Electric, and Carel), PeakWay guarantees component quality and fast turnaround times. Standardized manufacturing automation, coupled with intelligent production lines, reduces manual variability and optimizes production capacity. This ensures that PeakWay can deliver custom OEM/ODM commercial systems to Perth distributors much faster than European or North American counterparts.
Additionally, exporting to Australia requires high attention to detail regarding local marine transportation logistics and transport protection. All export units undergo specialized packaging (heavy-duty reinforced crates and moisture barrier protection) to guarantee safe ocean transit to the Port of Fremantle, minimizing transit damage and project delays.
Globally, decarbonization policies are targeting low-efficiency gas burners. Programs such as the European Union’s REPowerEU initiative and Australia’s National Energy Performance Strategy are driving this rapid energy transition. This global alignment ensures that investments in commercial air-to-water heat pump technologies are secure, highly scalable, and future-proof against tightening emissions standards.

Unlike standard equipment that can struggle in extreme heat, PeakWay’s commercial heat pumps feature wide operating windows up to 45°C ambient. In cooling mode, high-efficiency heat exchangers and variable speed DC inverter fans optimize heat rejection. During summer, the system can also provide concurrent domestic hot water and space cooling, maximizing total system efficiency.
R290 (Propane) has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of only 3, compared to R410A which has a GWP of 2,088. Under Australia’s synthetic greenhouse gas phase-down, R410A imports are decreasing, leading to rising costs. Choosing R290 ensures future-proof compliance, higher efficiency, and avoids future refrigerant phase-out liabilities.
Yes. All modern PeakWay units feature Modbus and RS485 interfaces, allowing integration with Building Management Systems (BMS) and smart solar controllers. You can program the systems to run during solar export peaks, storing heat in thermal storage tanks and utilizing excess solar power to lower operating costs.
The return on investment (ROI) typically ranges between 3 to 6 years, depending on local gas rates, solar integration, and system sizing. High-COP heat pumps deliver up to 75% energy savings compared to conventional gas heating, significantly reducing operational expenses and carbon offset fees.
