Michael's Midea Hot Water Heat Pumps Review & Verdict

Michael Bloch covers the latest developments in home electrification for SolarQuotes.

Quite a few reviews from Australian customers posted around the web of Midea heat pump hot water systems, which are marketed here in Australia by Chromagen, have been poor; citing issues with reliability, build quality, and customer service. That being the case, perhaps consider another heat pump brand.

Have had our Midea/Chromagen Heat pump for around 5 years without a hitch so far. Just read the article on servicing and thought that I should get someone in to service it.
After fixing the water preasure at both main regulator at front water meter & the regulator at the water heat pump it has worked very well especially when having a shower.
